Arbela ADAMS
(Apr 1804 - UNKNOWN)
Caverly, 1872, page 387, says that "Arbela Adams, born April, 1804, son of Thomas, married Olive Hawes, of Croyden, N.H., August 17, 1829, and located on a part of the home farm. The house built for him stood on the east side of the road between the present residence of Elias T.Adams and that of Seba Smith, but scarcely a vestige of it remains. He removed to the West about the year 1846.
A public tree at ancestry has the 17 Aug 1829 marriage date and added the place Croydon, Sullivan, New Hampshire. I was unable to locate a marriage record at ancestry.com or familysearch.org, so am using the 17 Aug but 1826, per the bio below.
History of Portland Township of Whiteside County Illinois, Edited by Charles Bent, Morrison, Illinois, 1877, has this brief bio on Arbela:
"Arbela Adams is a native of Rutland County, Vermont, and first came to Ottawa, Illinois in 1835, and in 1840 to Portland, settling in the same place where he now resides.
