Adams Families from VT to Monroe County, MI

I am a descendant of this Asa Adams.He married Delia Harriet Root.They had two children -- Elias and Harriet -- and moved to LaGrange, IN.Delia and Harriet died by the late 1830s.Asa and Elias then moved to Muscatine, IA.
Asa is usually listed in the census having been born in NY around 1806.I have not been able to determine who his father was (perhaps John Adams, an early resident of Monroe County, MI) or whether he was a brother of Ephraim and James Q. Adams, who are written up in several of the Monroe County history books.
I would love to share info.Since Asa Adams and Miner Downing were next door neighbors in 1830, and since the Downings married some Adamses, there may be a connection :)
