Larkin Adamson

(14 Aug 1806 - 13 Jan 1872)



Larkin married Nancy F. Routh on 3 Dec 1823, Jefferson Co TN.
She was born 26 Nov 1806, died 1 Nov 1873. Her inscription, Chambersville Cemetery, reads "Wife of Rev. L. Adamson"

1830 Census. Jefferson Co, TN
Larkin ADAMSON 1m age 20-30. 1f age 20-30

They are in the 1850, Platte Co MO Census in Green Township along with his brothers Levi and Jacob and sister Esther. Larkin is age 44, b. in TN; Nancy was age 43. No children living with them; perhaps they had none. They apparently moved to Collin Co TX soon after 1850 where they settled 10 miles northwest of McKinney. He opened a store and post office and named it Weston after the town they lived in in Missouri.

I have seen that a Larkin Adamson living in Platte, Andrew Co, MO in 1850 and who was married to Malinda Wilhite was a son of Larkin and Nancy Routh. I believe that Larkin was instead a son of Thomas Adamson, the older Larkin's brother. He lived next door to Thomas in 1850 and his wife was Malinda.

Larkin and Nancy are buried Chambersville Cemetery, McKinney, Collin Co, TX
