Hi Diane Richards: My wife's maternal great-great-grandfather was James Yancy McAdams, born 1826 Allen Co, KY son of William McAdams (1804-83) and Polly Lee (1806-63) from Orange Co, NC.via Tenessee. They moved to Indiana, then Buchanan Co. Missouri. We lose track of him in Sylvan Grove, Kansas about 1900. In what county /town was he living with his Francis granddaughter in 1900 census? Is there any record there of his death and burial? A son was Johnny Cornelius McAdams (1879-1961) who lived in St. Joseph, Missouri, then moved back East to New jersey and Long Island. His daughter, Lois Edra McAdams (1905-2000) married Dr. Alfred L. Standfast and lived the rest of her life in Binghamton, N.Y.
