Horace ADAMS, JR.

                   BIRTH:Family records give name of child. Parents married in Illinois 28 Mar
1844 so used the year of 1845 and born in Illinois;
DEATH:Family records;Used place where parents were married and the family was
living;
BURIAL:Used place where the parents were married and the family was living;

Unable to find any burial, birth record or  census record to identify with this
child.   Need to check Kane County again to see if there are any recent Cem.
records at Salt Lake City Library.

Mary Gallop said this child died at age 6.  The family is still in Illinois in 1850 so Melissa probably died in Illinois.  My family records said she died at age 6 weeks.
Mary gave her name as Melissa Jane but she didn't give her source.  Mary also said in her notes that Melissa Jane Adams : After marriage, went west in covered wagon?

headstone on? Buried with a third husband under another name?

There was a fire in Pine County City Building and destroyed the cemetary
records.  The only record left was the one in the cemetary sextons truck and
said who was owner of the lot and where they were located.  Benjaman bought the
lot and he and Rosella are probably buried there.  No way of proving this.

The census said none of the parents were of foreign birth.

The census taken evidently reversed the place of birth of Rose and Mary.
Rosella probably gave the census information and may not have known Benjamin's
Mother was born in Canada.
The research done on the Adams family at this time has not shown any evidence
of Indian Heritage.
