Individual Details

Moses Trader Shepherd's life story compiled by Bliss Brimley in the
Moses Trader Shepherd Family Organization Newletter, June 1978:
"...Some of Nancy's brothers, Job, Henry, James, and Enoch Garner also
were early settlers in Delaware Co., Ind, Job Garner having been appointed
guardian of the minor children of Nancy Adamson..."


1860. Harrison Twp, Delaware Co, IN. Hh 271
James Adamson, age 29. Rebecca, age 26.
Isaac A., 6
Nancy, age 63, b. Tenn [James's mother]
next door in Hh 272
Aaron Adamson, age 36, b. IN. Amy, 33, b. Ohio
Children born in IN: James 9, William 8, Cinderella 5, and John H., age 2.


There is no image so it cannot be checked for accuracy. Nancy is said to be buried Gooch Cemetery, Rocksprings, Rutherford Co, TN. Dates are 1 Dec 1797, died 2 Jun 1852. However since Nancy appears with son James in the 1860 census - this death date is highly questionable.
Find A Grave Memorial# 10563918

Find A Grave Memorial# 160969047. Another version of her burial suggests she was buried Nettle Creek Friends Quaker Cemetery in Dalton, Wayne Co, IN - but admits her death date is "unknown". This person has placed several members of the family, including her husband, in this cemetery - there are no pictures and no documentation to verify. Quakers did not always mark their graves. However, since she was in Delaware Co in 1860, she could have well been buried elsewhere.
