Individual Details

There is no proof John is a son of Enos. I have found no proof that wife Ann was Ann Jackson.

However, this John would appear, just from the names of his children, to be related. The son John of Jesse T. Adamson who was in Cane Creek is said to have married Rebecca Leakey and died within a few years, leaving two orphaned children. A son John is not usually subscribed to Enos Adamson and Mary Love, but it would be reasonable to assume he also had one and he was also in Cane Creek. The two Johns, first cousins, would have been very close to the same age. This John also named his eldest child Enos.
