Family History
of Rebecca Louise Myers Adams
Jacob Miers, as spelled in very early
documentation, was born in Westphalia Palatine about 1730 d. 1802-1808 Jackson
Co. GA. He married Anna Maria Hagar/Hager
“Margaret”, who was probably born in the Palatine/Palatin also about 1730.
Their parents are not known at this time. The first group of children was born
there before the family immigrated to the Colonies in Pennsylvania in 1760. Son
Abraham was the first child born in
Philadelphia after arriving in 1760 Later the family moved on to Chester Co.
South Carolina and then into northeastern Georgia, Jackson Co. Following are the children:
Jacob 1750 m. Ana Engt
Lewis 1752 m. Mary Unk

The
family is found just before 1800 in Chester Co. SC. Jacob is said to have served in the Rev. War, and received a land
bounty for his service. Jacob died about 1803, after being awarded land in
Jackson Co. GA., later Flower Mound, Hall Co. when the boundaries were adjusted.
The family is noted in the papers of Gov. Habersham of Georgia when the land was
ceded from the Cherokees in 1825.
Also, the family of Bud Mullens
[family of Nancy Mullens/Mullins] was
noted in these papers. Abraham and some of his sons-in-law also
noted in Hall and Jackson Cos. where Lake Lanier is located, now the area is
under water. Abraham had married and was living in the area as well as other
family members. The Miers/Myers
remained in Georgia until after the Land Lottery in the 1830’s, when they
migrated to the area of Walker, Cullman and Blount Cos. in the northeastern part
of Alabama in the area between the Sipsey and Mulberry Rivers. By now the family
name had been changed to Myres/Myers. Abraham
and Sarah were recorded in the
Winston and Walker Cos, AL. areas until after 1850 US Alabama census. Margaret, the mother, had remained in
Georgia as well as Barbary Roberson
Williams, until their deaths. A few of the other members came later to
Alabama with many of the family eventually coming on to Texas.
The

Some of the family names that moved on to Texas beside the Myers and Price lines
were Roberts, Dowdy, McLean, Calvert,
Cook, Rutherford, Dorsey, Black families
Also in Walker Co. Alabama was the
family of
Joseph and Mary Dorsey Price. d/o Cornelius and Martha Walker. Joseph Price
[see below for the Price/Pryce lineage]
received permission from the Territory of Mississippi to build a mill on
the Mulberry Fork of the Warrior River. In this area resided the Abraham- Sarah Roberson Myers family as
well as other Myers members.
Joseph b. 1780 d. aft. 1850
and Mary Dorsey Price b. 1781 PA. d. aft. 1850 d/o Cornelius and Martha Walker

Nicey Dorsey May 7, 1824 d. Jan. 9, 1917 m. George Washington Myers brother of Jarrett and aunt of Mary Lou Price Myers
One
of these Price children bore the
child named Mary Lou, but which one
is not certain. It is said that Mary
Lou’s father was of Indian descent as related by a descendant of Mary Jessie Myers Carmichael Bowers Tidwell,
youngest child of Jarrett and Mary Lou’s. It is said that Indian
lineage comes down through the female in Indian research. Therefore, it could
have been one of the daughters, and retained the Price name. In possession of the Myers family is a newspaper article dated in 1815 Ada, Pontotoc Co.
OK. stating that the two old ladies,
Nicey Dorsey Price Myers, wife of
George Washington Myers, and Mary Lou
Price Myers, widow of Jarret Myers,
brother of George W. reunited after
being separated from each other for 50 years. Both were raised in their father/
grandfather’s home, Joseph Price, back in Walker Co. AL. However,
it does not name the mother and father of
Mary Lou Price Myers.
After marrying about 1843/4, and in about 1855,
Jarrett
and Mary Lou Price Myers came to
Anderson Co. TX to Kickapoo community, along with other members of the Price/Myers families, brother Henry Roberson Myers and great uncle Thomas
Price. Here the family resided until after 1868, when their daughter Rebecca Louise was born. The family came
to Carolina, Falls Co. TX to relocate. Jarrett bought 100 ac. on the head of Cow Bayou, north of the
present day property of the De
Graffenried family. Jarrett died in 1874 on the Whitt farm, where his brother Burgess/Brutus Myers and family were
living. Mary Lou and her children remained on the Cow Bayou farm, where she
continued to raise her family. After paying off the 100 acres, Mary Lou bought 50 acres, and along
with her boys farmed it. Mary Lou
seemed to be a lady before her time taking on this very big task alone, however
with the help of her children, and paying off the note on the land.
The
children of Jarrett and Mary Lou Price Myers are
Nicie Jane b. Sept 9, 1845 d. Aug 22,

Jarrett Myers in Carolina Cemetery as well as the son George Thomas, who died at 10 years, and the son of Henry and Texanna Kring Myers, the oldest son of Jarrett and Mary Lou.
In
1903, Mary Lou Myers and son Thomas Jefferson with his family moved
to Pontotoc Co. OK., where Nicey Dorsey
Price Myers and some of her boys had moved in late 1890’s. There,
Mary Lou remained until her death, believed to be during the Flu epidemic of
1918 was buried in the Maxwell Cemetery, Maxwell Pontotoc Co. OK. Thomas Jefferson also is buried in the
same cemetery as well as others of the family. Many of Thomas Jefferson, Nicey Dorsey and Mary Jessie Myers Carmichael Bowers Tidwell descendants
still live in the area.
Rebecca Louise remained in Falls Co. after
marrying P.W. Adams in 1887. Along
with P.’s siblings, Alice Mae Adams Shotwell and Blanche Lazarus
Adams Greer had moved to the Cego area, West Falls Co. in about 1880.
P. and Lou, as they were affectionately known, remained out in the Dot area
just east of Cego and south of Carolina Cemetery, where P. bought land and farmed next to his
sister Blanche L. Adams Greer. In the
fall of 1915, P. built a that he
had ordered from Sears and Roebuck Co., and the family moved “ into the town” of
Chilton on the north side of
the town. Here they raised their family, and many of their descendants
are still living in the area.

FAMILY HISTORY
OF PHILIP WILLIAM ADAMS
A.K.A. “Mr. P”
or “P”
Now
known since the testing of the blood line, with DNA, shows that this Adams line
originated in the area of Bristol, Gloucester England in early 1600’s. According to documents, a Richard Adams arrived in Virginia in
1650’s, and eventually showed up in Dorchester Co. MD. Later this area was
rezoned to Sussex Co. DE. Documents state that the Adams family was one of the earliest to settle in this area.
Unfortunately, it does not state which
Adams family. There are some researchers who say this Richard Adams has not
been documented to our Adams line,
however, my personal research seems to indicate it was. Below is the chart of
the family line through P. W. Adams’
children

Thomas Nutter Adams was said to have fought in
the Rev. War, and perhaps received a land bounty in the frontier of the Ohio
River. Thomas N. and his family moved down through Virginia, over the Cumberland
Mountains, through the Shenandoah Valley over into Eastern Kentucky, in Harrison
Co. where some of his family married and remained. Some married into the
Isaac Peevy/Peavy, the famous Methodist preacher of the area.
Also, some of the family names in Kentucky were Stafford/Safford, McKay and Wilson. Later, whether on down the Ohio
River to follow the Southern Ohio Trail or crossed over into Ohio, where Thomas
N. settled and died in Sabina, Clinton Co. OH.
It is said he lived to be over one hundred years old as well as his son Thomas Nutter Jr.
From here, son, William with his
family moved on to the area of Illinois Terr. which included only about 3
counties at this time Crawford Co. in the very late 1700’s/ early 1800’s. It is
noted in historical accounts of the area that many of these early
pioneer/frontiersmen came for the abundant supply of furs and food. These men
trapped and sent furs back to the eastern shore of America, where these goods
were in high demand. These were frontiersmen and not really farmers, as they did
not buy up large tracts of land. Here
William lost his wife, and raised his family.
James was born in the 1790’s, and married a
Jane Unknown, and 2 girls and a son were born to them in Illinois, Edward
Co. After the birth of a son, the family moved on to Arkansas to remain there
until about 1842, when could very well have come down to fight for Texas. There are
documents of some of the boys in Red River Co. before 1850’s. Richard Adams’ family, the youngest son
of James, states that there is oral history saying the family came to Texas in
about 1842. The family is not enumerated on the 1850 Texas census, but some sons
are in Red River County. 1860 Census has the family in Gonzales Co. where Jessie
L. Adams and Julia Rogers were married May 3, 1859. Here the family remained
until after the Civil War and most all the siblings dispersed into other parts
of Texas, as well as California and Arizona.
The James and Jane Adams
issue:
Nancy b. IL 1816 m. P.W. Roberts 2nd George Vaughn. Nancy was the only one to
remain until her death in Gonzales Co. in 1883. P. W. was said to have been a J.P, and perhaps a physician. The
couple was said to have been big supporters of the Civil War, and lost their
fortune when the Civil War money had become worthless. The couple was known to
have helped many in the area during this very difficult time period for the
families and their friends that were in such desperate situations.
Mary abt. 1817 IL. M. Thomas H. Doyal/Doyl/Doyle d. Gonzales
Co. about 1856 after the death of Annie
Bell, her daughter. Annie Bell
was adopted by her Aunt Nancy Adams and husband
P. W. Roberts. Thomas
b. 1820 IL m. Nancy Taylor died
in California, having migrated before the 1880 US census.
James M. b. 1822 AR, married Sarah Wright moved to Hamilton Co. TX
Isaac Gipson “Gip” b. 1821 AR married Henrietta Jane James 2nd Lucinda Casbeer
John Quincy b. 1830 AR m. Emily Scarborough – migrated to Salt
River Valley AZ in 1868 after losing his land on Willow Creek after the Civil
War. . John led a wagon train in 1868
from Willow Creek in Lampasas Co. TX to the Tonto Basin Arizona Territory. John
Q. was one of the first men to work on the Salt River Canal. One daughter was
the first white lady to marry in the area, and John and Emily’s
daughter, Texanna was said to have
been the first white child born in the area. John Quincy and some of his sons were known to have been famous
lawmen of the Phoenix area. The family is designated as Original Pioneers of Arizona History
Jesse L. b. 1833/4 AR married Julia Rogers May 3, 1859 Gonzales Co.
TX. Julia was the daughter of Lazarus Matthews Rogers and Unknown Keitle, born in Lexington
Fayette Co. KY. Lazarus Matthews Rogers
is on the 1850 Lexington, Fayette Co. KY census married to a Mildred Ann Taylor or White. L.M. Rogers is no longer enumerated
censuses. Mildred remains and raises the family along with whom I think is a
brother or Uncle James Taylor. James Taylor is shown on a later census
living with Julia’s sister, Imogene
and family. These family members are all buried in the City Cemetery of
Lexington KY.
Richard b.1838 AR. d. Dec. 16, 1883 m. Sarah Taylor
Jesse and Julia Rogers Adams
issue:
Alice Mae b. 1860 Gonzales Co. TX d.
1935 m. Willis Pinckney –“W.P.”- Shotwell
[lived in Cego, Falls Co. TX. until her death.] Some known descendants live in
the Reston, VA. area.
Blanche Lazarus b. Gonzales Co. TX June 8,
1862 d. July 25, 1930 m. Henry Greer
[lived on Cego Trail, Falls Co. TX which was part of his parents, Benjamin Franklin and Sarah
Sallie Ann Ellis Greer, land of 313 acres. Some of the known descendants
remain in the Falls Co. area, McLennan Co., and San Antonio, Bexar Co. TX.
Recently information has been found that the sister-in-law of Blanche, Mittie Matidla Eva Greer
Hackett’s
husband, James Franklin Hackett came
to Falls Co. TX after the Civil War, from the area of Dorchester Co. MD, where
the Adams ancestors of Blanche’s
originated in Colonial times. Also, the
Greer
family was not far away in an area of Gunpowder River, MD area and Colonial
Virginia at the same time frame as the
Adams and Hackett’s families.
Philip William [P.W.] b. Aug 22, 1864 Gonzales
Co. TX d. Feb. 23, 1939 m. Rebecca Louise
Myers [see her line above] lived in Falls Co. until his death, as well as wife,
Rebecca Louise “Lou” Myers Adams and most of their descendants.
Emma Gean b. Aug. 29, 1869 d. Jul 20,
1937 m. John Thomas Merritt,
eventually settling in Leroy, McLennan Co., until her death. Some of Emma Gean’s descendants are still in the Waco, McLennan Co. TX area.
Lizzie b. Dec 1870 d. 1908 m. Robert Denard/Dennard moved to Florida
in 1900. Her death was most likely at the birth, or shortly after, of her twin
daughters. Her husband and children remained in Florida after her death. Known
where they may be now.
Bertha Julia b. Jan. 14, 1873 d. Mar. 19,
1946 m. John David Jacobs. The couple
moved on to Forreston, Ellis Co. TX, where some of their descendants still live.
Jessie L. “Jess” b. bef. 1876 d.? Known to
travel throughout Texas with one of his half-brothers; never married.
Julia Rogers Adams married Walter W. Bass in Williamson Co. in
1876, after the death of Jessie, which could be in Denton, TX about 1875, as
Bertha Julia Adams’ was born there according to her descendants.
Julia Rogers and Walter W.
Bass issue:
John Harney Sept 13, 1877 d. 1960 NM
Temperance W. b 1879 died as an infant
Walter Rogers
“Wash” b.
Jan. 14, 1881 d. 1977 TX
Walter W. Bass and many of his siblings
moved on to Texas from Tennessee after the Civil War. Parents of W. W. Bass were John and Temperance Sumner
Bass of Giles, Co. TN. Walter and three brothers all served in the Civil
War; one died, James P. who was
killed at the Battle of Vicksburg, MS. One brother John H. moved to Lampasas Co., one Sumner H. to Coryell Co., a sister, Harriet Bass Napier moved to Williamson Co. TX before the Civil War.
[then on to Hopkins Co. TX after a few years], the sister living in Texas could have been the reason that
the three brothers also moved to Texas after the war. Harriet’s husband was
known to have had a tavern in Gerogetown. Their mother, Temperance sold the plantation in Giles Co., TN after the Civil War,
and moved to Louisiana, where another daughter lived. Temperance remained there in Louisiana till her death. Some of the
descendants are still in Louisiana. Son,
John Harney Bass moved on to Roswell, Chavez Co. NM. Walter W. Bass
died July 1935 in NM after moving there after 1910. John H.’s son, Leslie Bass,
had a daughter, Celeste ? who was
last known in the Bedford TX area.
In
2005, the grave of Julia Rogers Adams
Bass was located in what is now Hillcrest Cemetery in Temple, Bell Co.
Texas, but then known as, City Cemetery.
Julia died in the Kings
Daughters Hospital, Temple TX on Feb 17, 1901 and buried the next day. The
receipt book for her grave was for $3.50, and was finally paid off about 5
months later. Perhaps it was hard times for the family, as in a few years he
applied for his Civil War pension which was granted him until his death.
Unfortunately, there was never a marker erected at her gravesite. Her great grandchildren and others of
the Adams family line placed one in her
honor in 2006. It was felt by her Adams descendants that if Julia’s children had known that none was
ever placed, the siblings would have gladly done so. There was a memorial
service at her gravesite in June 06 by the descendants of the Julia Adams family. It is not known what
the circumstances of the children coming to Falls Co. in about 1880, but sister,
Alice Mae had married W. P. Shotwell of Cego, Falls Co. TX,
and the couple may have taken the children into their home, as Julia had remarried and had a new family
to raise. P.W. Adams’ short bio said,
“he had come to Falls Co. over 60 years ago”, which would have been about 1880
when the children moved to area.

Mamie b. Oct. 3, 1908 d. Sept. 8,
1979 m. June 16, 1929 Herbert A. Rachuig
s/o Julius H. and Selma Schulz Rachuig. Descendants of
Mamie and Herbert live in the Sugar
Land, Richmond, Rosenberg Fort Bend Co. TX. and Nixon, Gonzales Co. TX areas.
Unnamed twin b. Oct. 3, 1908 d. Oct. 3,
1908.
Louisa b. Nov. 15, 1912- Jan. 8,
1916 died 4 years of age after exposure to the cold in the wintertime. Loved to
go barefooted, and she managed to get out of the house when the family found her
without her shoes on that cold winter day with snow on the ground.
All
are buried in the Chilton Cemetery except
Herbert A. Rachuig and unknown twin of
Mamie. The thought is that the twin was laid to
rest on the family farm out at Dot or in an unmarked grave elsewhere in the Dot
area, perhaps at Murphy Cemetery, being nearby.
FAMILY OF
JULIA ROGERS ADAMS BASS
Julia Rogers the mother of P.W. Adams etal was the daughter of Lazarus Mathews Rogers born in NC in
about 1817 d. aft.1850 in most likely Lexington Fayette Co. KY. He has not been
found in records after that 1850 US census. The mother was Unknown Keitle, who died at the birth of Julia. L[azarus Mathew]
then married second a Mildred Ann Taylor
in Lexington Fayette Co. KY on 2
Aug. 1841 Fayette Co. KY. According to LDS records in Salt Lake Utah.
ISSUE OF Lazarus Mathew and
Mildred Ann Taylor Rogers are:
Imogene [Emma] b.A ug. 5, 1843 d. Mar. 9,
1924 in Detroit, Wayne Co. MI while living with a grand daughter Lilly Willyard,
Emma m. Harry H. Christian b. May
6, 1840 KY d. May 24, 1896 both buried in Lexington Cem. Lexington, Fayette Co.
KY
George Ann b. abt 1846, died and was
reinterred in the Lexington Cem. when the original cemetery was sold along with
all of her siblings and George W. Taylor in June, 17, 1889 Sec. B1-Lot 2-grave
26.
John William Butler b.1849 Ky d. Nov. 25, 1852
with croup, and reburied with his younger brother in the same casket in
Lexington Cem. Fayette Co. KY in Sec. B1-Lot 2. June 17, 1889.
George William b.1851 KY D. Sept. 4, 1852
with T.B. and buried in the same casket as his brother on June 17, 1889.
Elizabeth
b. abt 1853 d. unknown, but on cemetery records as June, 17, 1889, but as other
siblings true date unknown. None of the vital information on the stones was
taken at original site. The graves
are in what would be about the size of a large yard, with only one stone
commemorating the event of the mass removal. There is a small area with a bench
for meditation. A very strange situation, but confirmed by the office of the
City Cem. giving me the reason as to why the Rogers family was all buried in about the same time frame and in Sec
1B Lot 2.
Mildred Ann Rogers-mother- died Feb. 22, 1892
at the age of 68 in another section of Lexington City Cemetery. On the 1880 KY
census, listed her as a widow – seamstress living with a Smith family.
Other information on Julia Rogers Adams
Bass
is with the Adams line. Further
research is ongoing for more information on Julia’s ancestors. It is known that Julia’s mother had a brother by
the name of Theodore Keitle.
If
you would like further information, please contact me, if you see something that
is of interest. There is much about the collateral lines in my research.
Research on the P. W. and Rebecca Louise Adams line is credited to
Joyce Adams Robyn from her early research into our family, and her journal ADAMS RIB, census, birth, death records and of course, the Internet.
