Individual Details

Seth ADAMSON

(23 Jul 1808 - Bef 1850)



Born 1806, or 1808, according to Bible record. [1808 seems most likely based on the 1850 census.]

Newberry Monthly Meeting. 30th of the 6th Month 1821 . Mary Adamson produced a certificate for herself & her children from Lost Creek Monthly Meeting. Her sons, names are Modecai, Solomon & Seth which was read and accepted.

Lost Creek Monthly Meeting:
1826, 2, 25 Seth Adamson granted certificate to Newberry MM, Blount Co,TN.

Moved from Lost Creek Monthly Meeting to Duck Creek in Henry Co IN in 1831.

1840 Census Madison Co IN are:
Evin Adamson: 1m -5, 1m 20-30; 1f -5, 1f 20-3
John Adamson: 1m 20-30, 1f 15-20
Seth Adamson: 1m 30-40, 1f -5, 1f 5-10, 1f 10-15, 1f 20-30 [probably this man - Evan & John probably his nephews, Thomas possibly a nephew, too]
Thos. Adamson: 1m -5, 1m 5-10, 3m 20-30; 1f 20-30 1f 60-70

In the 1850 Census in Madison Co, IA.
Seth Adamson, age 42, b. TN; Rody, age 33, b. IN
Hulda, 20, b. TN
Mary H. 17, b. IN
Aaron M. 14, and Solomon, 10 - all b. Indiana
Sarah E. 8, Martha 6, born in Missouri
Modecai, age 4, b. Iowa
Susannah, age 3/12, b. Iowa
The family may have moved from Blount Co TN to Indiana, then Missouri, and Iowa between 1830 and 1850.

Seth had a second marriage to Rhoda, surname unknown. Some of the children are hers, but there is not distinctive gap in the birth years of all the children. I did not find the marriage in the Indiana marriage database. A WikiTree database has a marriage to Rhoda Elizabeth Mills, 23 Jul 1835. Aaron would have been her first child.

1860 Census. St Stephen P.O. & Precinct, Richardson Co, Nebraska Territory
Rhoda Adamson, age 40, b. IN
Martha, 16, b. IN. Milton, 13, b. Iowa [Modecai?]. Melissa, 11, b. Iowa [Susannah?].
Solomon, age 20, b. Indiana. Emily, 19, b. Missouri. Alderson M., age 6 months, born in Nebraska [I would guess Solomon has married to Emily and Alderson is their child.]
