I am still looking for a connection to my family.I am looking for Jeremiah Adams born approx 1799 in Virginia. He married Lucy Mendon (we don't know if that is an abbrev maiden name)They had 14 children.We can identify 7 of them.Jemina born 1825 TN, Jas F 1829 TN, L Caroline 1831, Martha born 1838 MS, Jno born 1842 IL, George 1849 in Il, and Henry Clay 1850 TX.We know Lucy moves to Marion Illinois with Jno and Henry Clay around 1860. She remains there through 1870 and no further trace of her. Henry Clay stays in Marion his entire life. All others disappear. We are looking for any info on Jeremiah or Lucy Adams. Lucy doesn't appear in any death notices nor does Jeremiah.We know that Lucy and Jemina and Martha were in St. Clair Illinois 1855.Jemina dies in childbirth. Martha marries Jemina's husband after Jemina dies. Any information anyone has would be greatly appreciated.
