I have studied the history of Hillsborough and Orange County trying to develop clues about my ancestry.Most of the people who settled there circa 1755 were Scots-Irish who had missed out on the land around Philadelphia.I assume that is my ancestor's path -- but I can't rule out Virginia, either, because there's a line of Hastings from there, too.In fact, members of both families wound up living near each other in Tennessee.I am trying to get DNA testing from a descendant of the "other" Hastings, and see if we are closely related.
I guess your Adams experience is similar to mine with the Hastingses.
