                   Simon Adamson Jr. and his family had land in Know county, Tennessee in the early 1800's. They went to  the Lost Creek Quaker church in Jefferson county at New Market, Tennessee. Other Adamson's lived in this area. When you realize that the land west of the Allegany Mountain was reserved for the Indians by the Proclamation of 1763, it is seen that the Adamson families being in eastern Tennessee in the late 1700's made them very early settlers.

Simon Adamson is thought to be buired at Rocky Valley Cemetery, Jefferson county, Tennessee. We do not know where Eleanor Adamson is buried, but feel that it is in Collin county, Texas. the 1860 Collin county census show "Ellender" Adamson age 91, in Tennessee, Nancy Wilson age 21 born in Tennessee, John Wilson, age 28 born in North carolina, and Harrison Mills, age 19, born in Tennessee. Jacob Wilson was Eleanor's Grandson (#2-12 on our list) Youngest son of Israel and Martha Wilson. We do not find any records showing John as a brother of Jacob. Nancy Wilson was Jacob's wife, and Harrison Mills was Nancy's Brother. Harrison died in Confederate service during the Civil war.

One source of information shows that Eleanor died at Weston Texas in 1863 at age 93, .

On the plat of the Chambersville cemetery in Collin county which was drawn in 1955 byn the son of the man who kept the cemetary records, there are around a dozen unmarked graves shown in the vicinity of the Adamsons and the Wilson's . Some are immediateyly in front of Larkin (1806) and Nancy Adamson and esther Adamson Wilson, and some are imediately in back of them. I think these contain adamson family members whose graves we have not been able to locate possibley including Eleanor.
