"William Adams was another early settler on the waters of the Middle fork. Though his domain was just across what is now the Ritchie and Doddridge county line, his interests were identical with those of the other pioneers of this vicinity. He was a native of Harrison county--the son of Jonathan Adams, a Revolutionary soldier, who fought under General Washington. He married Miss Lucinda Wright, of Harrison county (who was a member of the Wright family, of Spruce creek), and in 1840, took up his residence in the forest where his son, William Adams, now lives. Here he passed from sight in 1861; and in the Auburn cemetery, beside his wife, be sleeps. After the death of the wife of his youth, he married Miss Louisa Summers, sister of Joseph and Elijah Summers: and they were the parents of five children: Elijah, and Alexander Adams, Mrs. Susana Pierce, Mrs. Margaret Husk, and Mrs. Flora Edgell, of Doddridge county. The children of the first union were; viz., William, who lives at the old homestead; Joshua Adams, of Summers [WV]--the father of the well known lawyer, Homer Adams, of Harrisville: the late Jackson Adams, of Summers: .Mrs. Mary (Thos.) Hickman, of Grove: and the late Mrs. Harriet (Elias) Snodgrass, Ritchie county; the late Mrs. Mary An Leeson, the late Mrs. Elizabeth Lipscomb. and the late Mrs. Sarah Gray, who was the mother of the Gray Brothers, of Elizabeth, Wirt county."
