Individual Details

Levi ADAMSON

(1810 - Feb 1870)



Levi wasn't likely born in Cannon Co TN as received in email - it wasn't formed until 1836 from Rutherford, Smith & Warren Counties, none of which were formed from Jefferson. He was much more likely born in Jefferson Co TN where his family was living at that time.

Levi married Mary Ann Benton on 28 Apr 1836 in Richmond, Ray County, MO.

In the 1850 Census in Green Twp, Platte Co MO:
Levi, age 40, a Tailor b. in TN. Polly A. age 33 also born in TN and the following children all born in MO. Lawson age 13, Simon 11, Larkin 9, and Nancy 6.
On one side of Levi was his brother Larkin and on the other side was a Kelsey Adamson age 27, a Merchant, b. TN. Kelsey seems just a bit too old to be the son of either Levi or Larkin but he could very well be a son of Jacob by his first wife and Jacob was enumerated only a few households before Larkin. Living with Kelsey was Rebecca age 25 and also born in TN with children, Samuel 8, Martha E, 5, Jacob who seems to be 21, or age two with a random ink mark, and Levi 8 months. All these born born in MO.
