"Chas. F. Pucket, admr. of Armstead A. Pucket dec'd., citizen of Wilson Co., TN against Ash Williams, admr. of T.J. Adams, dec'd., Jane M. Adams, the widow, and the following minors his children: Thomas W. aged about 12, William A. about 10, John C. about 8, Charles W. about 6, and Fanny Adams about 4 years all Wilson Co., TN.
Orator shows that on 1 Apr. 1861, his intestate, A.A. Pucket sold to T.J. Adams a farm in Civil District __, __ acres ... bounded by Jo Tally ... Mat Gunn's corner ... E.C. Craddick, dec'd. corner ... W.A. Grimmet line ... Jas. Dillard line....
T.J. Adams died in this county several years ago leaving the defdt. Jane M. his widow and the defdts. Thos. W., William A., John C., Charles C. and Fanny Adams his only children... A.A. Pucket died intestate several years ago. Alex. W. Vick gdn. ad litem."
Thomas and Jane Adams, with children Thomas, William and John as above, were enumerated in the 1860 US census, reporting the household as of June 1, 1860. Both this date and the above sale are subsequent to the death date inscribed on the T J Adams tombstone. The chancery record would place his death date closer to 1862.
T J Adams is not found in the 1870 census, but widow Jane (remarried, to Christopher Brown) and children re-surface in Arkansas in 1870.
