Mary (Garland) Adams was the daughter of Samuel and Mary (Harper) Garland. Mary married Moses Adams, son of William and Mary (Baker) Adams, ca. 1796 in Elizabethton, Carter County, TN; although, no actual marriage record has been found. Moses and Mary had at least eleven children: Jesse Adams, Samuel Adams, George Adams, Sarah (Adams) Maggard, Stephen "Shank" Adams, William Tolson Adams, Nancy (Adams) Adams, Isaac B. Adams, Moses Spencer "Smoot" Adams, Mary "Polly" (Adams) Cornett and Jane "Jennie" (Adams) Brashear.
Mary's father, Samuel Garland, was one of the area's largest planters, owning at least 525 acres and using slave labor to operate his plantation and a grist mill on Stoney Creek in Carter County, TN. It is believed that Moses and Mary's first home was on her father's land. A few years later, on April 22, 1801, Moses paid $600 for 200 acres of land on Stoney Creek which was part of his father-in-laws' original land grant dated November 12, 1795 (NC Land Grant #1197). The land was to include all improvements, such as "houses, buildings, orchards, ways, waters and water courses." The deed was recorded on June 1, 1801.
On September 29, 1806, after about ten years of marriage, Moses and Mary sold their land and shortly afterwards moved from Carter County, TN, to Floyd County, KY. At that time they would have had six children. The oldest child would have been Jesse, at eight years of age, and the youngest child would have been William Tolson, just a few months old. By 1808, Moses and Mary had settled on Pert Creek in Floyd County, KY, which would later become Perry County in 1821 and finally Letcher County in 1842. Moses and Mary would go on to have five more children. Mary died early in 1834 at her home on Pert Creek. She lived to see all but one of her eleven children marry.
