In the "History of Muskingum County, Ohio" by J. F. Everhart, is written the following:

"George P. Adams, farmer, Adamsville, Ohio, has been familiar with farm work from his earliest youth, and is now ranked among the prosperous farmers of Muskingum county. He was born in Salem township, this county, July 4, 1824, and is a son of George and Christina (Werts) Adams, both natives of Ohio. George P. Adams was reared on a farm in Salem township and received his scholastic advantages in the schools of the same. When twenty-one years of age he started out to make his own way in life, and first settled on a farm in Monroe township, where he remained for four years. He then sold out and moved to Salem township, where he has made his home since. Mr. Adams was married on November 7, 1850, to Miss Margaret Green, a native of Muskingum county, born September 16, 1832, and the daughter of Elias and Betty (Conn) Green." "With the exception of about four years, Mr. and Mrs. Adams have lived in on their present farm ever since their marriage, and have reared four children: Salina A., who was born September 30, 1851, and who died in Kansas, January 15, 1888 (she was the wife of Mr. E. Stotts); Henry A., was born February 22, 1853, married Miss ____, and is now a farmer in Adams township; Elias E., was born march 4, 1858, and is now farming in Adams township (he married Miss Anna Metcalf); and Carlton who was born September 16, 1861, and is now residing at home (he Married Miss Mary A. Gaumer). Mr. Adams is enterprising and progressive, and is one of the county's best citizens. He takes a deep interest in the progress of the county, and extends a willing liberal hand to all the enterprises of a laudable nature. He and Mrs. Adams are members of the Lutheran church, and in politics he is a stanch democrat. He has ten grandchildren living in Muskingum county and three in the west.
