Rebecca ADAMSON

(21 Sep 1813 - 23 Nov 1890)

There are two marriages for a Rebecca Adamson in Wayne Co. One to Charles Howell on 21 Dec 1848 and one to Owen Williams on 16 Sep 1841. A World Connect GEDCOM by Suzanne W. Watt has Owen L. Williams as her husband and descendants of this line confirm.

Owen Williams, and Rebecca Adamson, were 2nd cousins.

1850 Census, Jackson Twp, Hamilton, IN, gives her age as 39, born in Tennessee. She does seem to be living with Owen L. Williams, age 40. If her birthdate is correct, she was 37 at the time of the Census.
Children: Isaac 9, Louis 6, Henry 5, Sarah E. 2, Jabez, 4 months.

1860 Census. Mound Twp, Lykins, Kansas Terr. P.O. Opawattomie, Hh 495
Owen L. Williams, 49
Rebecca, 47
Issac, 17. Lewis H. 16, Henry 15, Sarah A. 12, Jabez W. 10, Aaron W. 7, Owen L. 5.

Owen's FindAGrave memorial states she married Richard Lagle after his death (Rebecca married Richard Lagle, 23 Jun 1870, Jefferson Co, Iowa.) - but why would she be in Iowa.....
1870 Census. Fairfield, Jefferson Co Iowa has the following:
Richard Lagle, 64, b. NC
Rebecca, 56, b. IN
This bothers me somewhat - where are her Williams children - Owen would have been only 15. Isaac and Jabez had both died during the Civil War.
1880 Census. Fairfield, Jefferson Co Iowa, Hh 65
Richard Lagle, 66, Farmer, b. NC, parents b. NC
Rebekah, 61, wife, b. TN, parents b. NC
Wm. Stiles, 61, b. PA, parents b. PA (I think he may have been a separate household - he had no new number, but the next one at the top of the next page is 67, not 66.

But the following ties Rebecca back to Williams:
Iowa State Census, 1885. Village Twp, Van Buren, Iowa, Hh 67
Rebecca C. Lagel, town of Selma, age 71, Widow, b. TN
Aron Williams, age 31, widowed, Working on R.R., b. IN, subject to military duty and entitled to vote.

The Pike Family History omitted Rebecca.
