Isaac ADAMSON

(9 Apr 1802 - 25 Mar 1878)



Enos Adamson was surety for the marriage between Isaac & Jane.

Moved to Duck Creek Monthly Meeting, Henry Co IN in 1830.

By 1840, he appears to be the only one of the Adamson brothers still in Henry Co:
Isaac Addamson, age 30-40, with his family.

1f 10-15, 1f 40-50 [Jane], 1f 70-80 [probably his mother or hers]

There were other Adamsons in Henry Co in 1840 [probably not of this same family]:
