Biography* JAF: When summer came we had a delightful visit to my fathers native place at Redding, where my grandfather Adams lived. He lived a few miles from the* village on a farm and he was a pleasant easy going old gentleman. He had bright blue eyes and red hair. My Uncle Harry lived near by and they were all thrifty Yankee farmers.

My grandfather used to love to tell stories of the doings of the Adams family, and he really thought they could not be beat at anything. He often told us about his cousin John Adams, who was one of the first presidents and also of his son John Adams who was also at one time president of the United States.2

Biography* JAF: My Uncle Joseph was a very honest man, and he could not be tempted to tell a lie. One day he was driving a very fine horse along the road and he met a man, who stopped him and asked if that horse was for sale. My uncle said, "Yes sir." "'What price do put on him?" the man asked him, "is he honest and gentle?" said the stranger. "No he is not," said my uncle, "As he has many bad ways and mean tricks and he is balky also, I doubt if he would work for you at all" said my Uncle Joe. The man made up his mind that no man would run down his own horse, and was only talking to get around his offer of selling him. He had taken a great fancy to the horse and he was a mate to one he owned. He told my uncle he would give him 150 dollars for tile horse. My uncle told him, "You will be very much disappointed in the animal, and he will balk when you attempt to ride him." The man thought after he had used the horse a few days, that there was one honest man in the state, and of course he could do nothing about the bad bargain, as he had been told all about the horse, so he had to put up with it the best he could.1

Biography* JEAHR: There was one boy who was older than Walter, who was left in Michigan with one of my mothers brothers, Bonaparte Buddington, who went to California and left Lawrence Dezang Adams with his brother Walter but as soon as Lawrence was old enough he went away and began to shift for himself. He became lost to all of his relations in New York State.

Next in the family of Aaron and Mary Adams came Lawrence Dezand Adams who was born in Michigan while his three older brothers were born in Mt. Morris, Livingston Co,, N. Y. We knew nothing of his place of residence until a few years before the Civil War my brother Horace came to Wisconsin to see me and my family, also Uncle Jacob Frank and Aunt Joannah. When he returned to New York State he went through Michigan and after a lot of trouble he found Lawrence who had grown up to be a very nice looking young man, and was doing a good business in one of the parts of Lake Michigan where he was inspector of fish. After the war broke out we could hear nothing of him, and we began to think he had gone into the army and was killed and lay in an unknown grave. Years passed away, and it was in the year 1904 that. I had a letter from my brother Horace who lived at Oswego, N.Y. saying he had news that our brother Lawrence was alive and lived at Belleville Ontario. It seems after the war which he was in, that he married and went to Belleville Ontario, Canada. They had but one child a daughter, who was 40 years old and married to Robert Leonard for many years. She felt a great desire to know if her father had any relatives in any place, and she read in a paper that a lady in some place in Connecticut was getting up that is called a "family tree" of the Adams. family. My brothers daughter Alice had a number of names sent to her upon her writing to this woman and asking for some names of people of that name. She wrote to many of them and one was Harrison Adams and it was her grandfathers brother as it proved. She wrote to him, but he had been dead many years and had only one son living. He took the letter and read it and sent it to my brother Horace so we found out all about our missing brother. In the summer of 1905 1 went from Minnesota to visit my daughter Minnie Smith and as had got that far, I went on to Belleville in Ontario and found my brother and his wife and daughter Mrs. Alice Leonard.? I had a good visit on the first and last time I ever met my brother. My brother Horace came up from Oswego and we all met at my brothers and I have not seen Horace for forty years.

When I last saw Horace, he was a good looking young man and when I met him at Belleville, he was a little old man whom I should never have known, had I met him at any place. In the year 1911 my brother Lawrence and his wife both passed away, and I was so glad that I went to see them once, also their daughter Alice, wife of Robert Leonard.

Relatives meet after 60 Years
Belleville Man Finds A Sister He Had Never Known
A Story As Strange as Anything in Fiction

An extraordinary case of the meeting of a brother and sister, who had never seen each other, took place in this city on Saturday last when Mrs. L.N. Rowe, of Redwood Falls, Minn. Arrived on the important mission of seeing her brother, Mr. Charles Adams [sic - actually Lawrence Adams], whom she had never seen. The following is the history of how they became separated when children and how the reunion came about as told by Mrs. Rowe herself to the Ontario.

The Sister's Story

We do not always have to look through the wonderful books of story or song to get to the true romance of life, as in this meeting of a brother and a sister who never saw each other. There is a chain of circumstances that had kept them apart for many years. Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction and we can only wonder at the chance of fortune and how it could possibly be that members of one family could grow up to old age without ever meeting, even by chance. In the year 1833, a young and thrifty farmer by the name of Aaron Adams bethought himself to leave the landmarks of the Empire State and try his fame and fortune in the wild forests of Michigan. Thinking it was a poor place to take his little daughter and small son, they were left with two of his sisters who had no children of their own. So taking with them their baby boy, they emigrated to the wood and in that home was born a boy who met his sister after a lapse of 60 years. The little girl went with her foster parents to the ___ state and lived there for many years.

The little boy grew up to be only a few years old with his three brothers when his mother died and his father took these brothers of his back to his sisters in New York and left him with an uncle of his mothers. This uncle went to California and died there leaving the boy among strangers and to the mercy of the wide world, who grew up without the knowledge of having a sister and brothers. His father went to Wisconsin and died without learning of his son's lonely condition. He grew to manhood and began for himself the occupation of a fisherman. His love for the water was inherited from his grandfather, who was an old sea captain. His home for many years was the storm swept waters of Old Lake Michigan, where he owned a fine fishing boat and a fishing outfit of his own and on one dark day a terrible storm arose and he with two men were tossed about by the wind and waves, which capsized his craft and they drifted for 70 miles and at last came to shore. His life was saved by his hair freezing to the side of the boat and kept his head out of the water when he was so nearly gone that he could not help himself. H was so grateful to that noble shock of hair that he did it the honor of wearing it long ever after.

By this time he was so discouraged with the loss of his property that he went to New York and as the Civil War was just begun and and Lincoln was calling "for three thousand more" , this young patriot enlisted in a company of light artillery. After long months of hard service, having been wounded and suffering with rheumatism, he procured a furlough and returned to his old place of residence.

After a time he came with his wife and little daughter up the lake and landed at the beautiful village of Belleville, attracted to the river and the blue waters of the bay where he could sail his boat in comfort while keeping to his favorite occupation of a fisherman. He made this place his home. After his daughter, who is now Mrs. Alice Leonard, grew to womanhood and married and made a home of her own, she was trying to find some relatives of her father's family, if any were living. One day she read in an eastern paper of a lady who was making out a family tree of the different people by the name of Adams. She wrote to this lady and received from her the addresses of some names of that family in the state of New York. She wrote to one Harrison Adams but it seems he ha been dead many years. He had one son living who took his father's letter and read it to a cousin of his, one Horace Adams, who lived in Owego and he proved to be her father's own brother. A correspondence was opened at once and she learned that he had another brother in Toledo Ohio, and a sister in Redwood Falls, Minn.

Now comes the sequel to this glad meeting, last Saturday morning, when she came from her home in Minnesota to find him. It was a sad chain of events that kept them apart for 60 years, and for the first time they met, and clasping hands, while tears of joy were running, they stood and looked at each other too much affected to speak. The day was all too short which was spent sitting side by side, recounting to each other the story of their long lives. She told him of her family grown up and away from home, some on the prairies of North Dakota and others off to the Pacific Coast. Of her life companion whom she traveled with on her life's journey for 40 years, and then that he was a veteran of the civil war and a member of the old iron brigade of historic fame. The new found brother told of incidents of his life and the wonderful escapes from death on the water. He recounted one of his fishing expeditions on White Island on Lake Huron, when the ice came down and flooded the land so that they only were saved by clinging to the rocks, and as soon as possible they took to their boats and drifting for two days without food they at last took their chances of reaching the main land by walking from one ice pack to the other, where after a terrible journey of many hours they at last reached the end of their perilous journey.

She also gave him an account of his ancestors and that he came from a long line of statesmen and patriots. That his great-grandfather and his brothers did grand service in the war of the Revolution and one of them was an aid to General Geo. Washington, and they were own cousins to old John Adams, one of the first presidents of the great republic. That his grandfather was in the war of 1812 and was afterwards elected as a member of the Legislature from his district in New York. He served one term when DeWitt Clinton was Governor, and when the bill was voted on as to the idea of digging the ditch for the Erie Canal, the fist name called was Aaron Adams, and he rose an in his honest convictions that it never could prove a success, he loudly responded "nay". The sister had heard her Aunt's stories of their early life in Ulster county, where their father was a slaveholder and how when his suit of clothes was gotten up to travel to Albany the good wife was assisted by the black woman who spun and wove the cloth and made those fashionable knee breeches and long waist coat by hand and he also wore ruffled shirt fronts with his shoes with silver buckles and his hair braided and tied with a black ribbon. He went with his own carriage and driven by his black man, Prince.

The brother and sister were also glad to have news that their brother in Oswego was coming next week to join them, and all that was left of the family would be together. The brothers have met once but the sister has not seen her brother since the year 1859 [??]. So the hours of this happy day passed away all too quickly and the evening shadows came on while they sat recalling the olden days gone by, and at last it was late at night before they separated for their rest.

It may be possible that this will be their last reunion on earth, as the faltering steps and fast whitening locks should remind them that they are fast traveling to the other shore. They can surely take this comfort to their hearts, that in that home beyond where eternal youth shall be their portion of joy, they shall meet again and never be separated. (by and by)

Biography Dixie Hansen notes: There is an error in the biography of Nathan Adams which was published in the LaGrange Pioneers. Namely, the "daughter" (Joannah Elizabeth Adams) who married J.A. Hubbard were not Nathan's daughter, but rather was his grandniece. Walter Adams, mentioned as a probable relative, was Joannahs' brother and Nathan's grand nephew.

The article:
The Adams family that came from New York to LaGrange in 1845 sprang from the "Braintree" branch as did Pres. John Adams. Nathan Adams, Sr., born in 1778, and his wife, Lucinda, (1787-1855); and Nathan, Jr., and wife, Rachel owned the northern half of Sec. 24 with the exception of the Fearnley farm. Nearly all good memory of these people is lost but their name still clings to the locality in which they settled. It is said that when a name was chosen for the first post office of their neighborhood the choice was between Porter and Adams. The latter was decided on in honor of John Quincy Adams and his local kin. There was also another son, Horace, and a daughter who married J.A. Hubbard. Another daughter, Mrs. Jared Patchen, with her family came in 1847. Mrs. Celia Patchen Nickerson told her sister, Minnie, that when her Grandfather Adams bought the lots in the Round Prairie Cemetery she remembered that he told her father he had bought enough for his own family and the Patchen's, too. If Nathan's senior, remains lie there, no marker is there to give the date of his death. Nathan Adams, Jr., (1824-1850) died at 26 years of age. He left a widow, Rachel, and a daughter, Nathanette; (Guy G. Prentice, guardian). His farm, the Geo. King place, was sold to John Bottrell, and wife, Lavina Serena B. Walter Adams who attended the Hill school during the fifties, must have been a relative.3 
Biography Michael S. Disbrow: One of the founders of the Adams Settlement near Danby, Tomkins Co., NY. (this needs to be researched - as other evidence, including the Two Joannah Memoirs and the 1850 US Census, make it very clear that Nathan and Lucinda settled in Walworth Co., WI 
Biography* JAF: They were a very musical family and I thought no one could play the fiddle any better than my father. His brother Nathan and his son Nathan were fine musicians and used to play for dances. Uncle Nathans children had all grown up when he immigrated with his son Nathan to Wisconsin, driving a team from Spencer in Tioga County New York State clear through to Wisconsin, and settled on Heart Prairie in Walworth Co., where he lived many years. I presume there are yet many living amongst the old settlers who have tripped "the light fantastic Toe" after the inspiring music of the Severance and Adams band. Uncle Nathan was also a good scholar in arithmetic and algebra and liked to have people come to him with sums and problems for him to make out. He had but one great fault (that was his love for ardent spirits), and he would not play for a dance until he had a drink or so. He had a large family of boys and girls and after they were grown up, the boys used to talk to him to try have him break off as they were really ashamed of him. His wife, Aunt Lucinda used to put a stop to their talking to him about drinking and say "You'll never make half so decent a man as your father." Strange to say, none of the boys ever touched liquor of any kind, and were honest temperate men and respected by all. The old people lived to be very old, and after Aunt Lucinda died, Uncle Nathan went to New York to visit his daughter Mary. They were strong Baptists, and used to have their family prayers after he had gone to bed, thinking he would not enjoy hearing them. He said to Mary one day, "Why do you wait until I am in bed before you have your prayers?" Mary said "Why, Father, I thought you would not care to hear them." He said, "Well don't do that any more." Strange to say, although he was over 80 years old, he experienced religion and became a member of the Baptist church and stopped drinking and was a sober good Christian church member until his death which took place a few years later, on Heart Prairie, Wisconsin. When he passed away, his remains were laid by his wife Lucinda, and his son Horace and Nathan who died of cholera many years before. They lie in the old burying ground on Round Prairie Walworth Co., Wisconsin.2

Biography James M. Buxton relates: My Grandmother Fanny Rowe Buxton told me about her Uncle Oscar. He is shown on the family chart. Anyway this Uncle Oscar apparently became a sea-faring man, and travelled the world on cargo ships. One of the things that he accumulated was a little monkey in one of these far off ports, and he would take the monkey along with him on all of his travels. As time went on the monkey became a problem, so when he came back home he took the monkey to the local zoo. (city here is unknown). He left the monkey with the zoo keepers, but Uncle Oscar would return to visit the monkey during the times he came back into his own home port. The little monkey would recognize Oscar and would run up to the bars of the cage and reach his arms through to give Oscar a big hug. Apparently on one of these visits, a neighboring gorilla to this little monkey witnessed this hugging exchange, and reached through the bars of his cage with his long arms grabbed Oscar and proceeded to give Oscar a big hug. They had to get the zoo keepers to come and pry the gorilla's arms off before Oscar could get himself free.

Probably not of much interest in a genealogical study of a family, but my Grandmother would get a big laugh out of this every time she would tell the story.3 
Employment* Surgeon2 
Biography* JEAHR: My brother Oscar Henry Adams was from his earliest boyhood a natural doctor and also had a love for the sea and his spare time when out of school was spent in making ships and fixing pills and medicine to put in his little tin trunk. When he was old enough Uncle Gaylord Willsey sent him to New York City to study medicine. He did not stay there long but put out to sail away, first to Cuba and afterward to go as supercargo on a ship to China. After he had roamed about the world until he was satisfied he took up his studies again, and went to France and got his diploma there. The Crimean War had broken out and he enlisted as a Surgeon on the greatest ship that then sailed the Atlantic. The French hired this ship "The Great Republic" of the United States to carry soldiers out to the seat of war and bring the wounded back. He was also a Surgeon in the Civil War in a New York regiment. He was cut on the head with a saber in the hands of a guerrilla when helping to gather the wounded on a battlefield. He saved his life by making the Free Masons sign, and guerrilla chief was a Mason too, and he took him to his place and cared for him until he was well. He was married before he went into the army and had two children: one boy Arthur and a girl, Elizabeth but always called Libbie. About a years after he came back from the war he opened an office at Elmira N. Y. and practiced medicine a number of years. While treating a man for a malignant cancer he caught that awful cancer for which there has never been found a cure. It broke out on his cheek and he told his folks there was no help for it, but they insisted on his having it cut out, So to please his wife Lucy he went to Rochester and had it cut out but it soon grew again, and eat into his mouth until his teeth all dropped out, and then into the grain and he died in great agony with his hands raised up to Heaven. Just in the prime of life, only about 44 years old and I had not seen him in nearly 30 years but he sent me messages he told his wife on every breeze that blew westward. I shall see him when I cross over to the other side and' we shall have so much to tell each other of our life on this earth.

Revolutionary War, JAF: My grandfathers oldest son Henry was a soldier in the Revolutionary War and when the war was over he was discharged and started for home, but died on the way. All the soldiers had land given them by the government, after the war and the tract given to him, as near as the relatives could discover was right where the city of Washington now is situated. They talked it over often and let the affair drift along, but none of them had enough energy to go to law about it, and try to establish the claim., so it was never settled in any way.1,3

Employment Toledo, Ohio, USA, Kept a hardware store for many years.1 
Biography* JAF: Then a few weeks after my father came with the youngest boy Walter - about four years old and gave him to his Aunt Joannah to care for. Aunt Joannah felt so sorry for the poor little neglected follow she took him as her own.
Walter Frank Adams was brought up by Uncle Jacob, and Aunt Joannah Frank and as soon as he was old enough he went to learn the tinners trade at Stevens Point of Horace who came from New York State there to work at his trade. After a few years he went to Chicago and got work. When the Civil War broke out he enlisted in Taylors Battery of light artillery. After the close of the war he came to Springfield, Wisconsin and set up a shop of his own. At the close of the year he married a pretty girl who was then teaching school" there. Her name was Loe Owens and she lived only about ten years. They had three children of whom two died leaving Clarence whom Walter loved dearly. He had moved to Clinton, Iowa where his wife died. After a few years he married again to a lady who was a widow and I don't remember her name only he called her Susie and they moved to Toledo, Ohio, where he kept a hardware store many years. Clarence grew up to be a bright handsome young man, and after he left school he went down to some place in Texas and worked on a railroad train ad brakeman. About a year after I think he was taken with small pox and died there which almost broke his fathers heart and he lived only a few years after his death. Walter was born in 1839 and died in 1903. 1 saw him only once in 28 years when I went two years before he died to Toledo and spent a week at his beautiful home where his wife Susie is now living in the year 1911.1

Biography Minnesota Progressive Men:

Albert Alonzo Ames is one of the best known names in the city of Minneapolis, and at various time during his career has been the leader of a larger and more enthusiastic following probably than has ever been attached to the fortunes and person of any single citizen on that city. He was born at Garden Prairie, Boone County, Illinois, January 18, 1842. He was the fourth son of a family of seven boys. His parents were Alfred Elisha Ames, M. D., who died in Minneapolis in 1874, and Martha A. Ames, who still resides in Minneapolis. Dr. Alfred Elisha Ames came with his family to Minneapolis in the spring of 1852, before the locality had a name and while it was still a portion of the Ft. Snelling reservation. The subject of this sketch was then a lad of ten years. He attended the public schools until sixteen, graduating from the high school, which was at that time a department of the Washington school, then located on the block now occupied by the new court house and city hall. In 1857, while still attending the high school, he served as "printer's devil" and as a newspaper carrier for the Northwestern Democrat, published by Maj. W. A. Hotchkiss, the first paper issued in Minneapolis on the west side of the river. The building where the Democrat was published is still standing on the southeast corner of Third Street and Fifth Avenue South. It was in his capacity as "printer's devil" that Albert Alonzo Ames earned his first dollar. In the summer of 1858 he commenced the study of medicine and surgery with his father, and after attending two preliminary and two regular courses at the Rush Medical College, Chicago he graduated with the degree of M. D., February 5, 1862, at the age of twenty. In the following August, Dr. A. A. Ames, who had returned to Minneapolis to begin the practice of his profession, at the call of President Lincoln helped to organize Company B, of the Ninth Minnesota Regiment, enlisting himself as a private. That was the time of the Indian troubles on the frontier, and the men of the Ninth Regiment, who had been given fifteen days' leave of absence after enlisting, in which to return to their homes for the purpose of settling up their affairs, were ordered hurriedly to the front against the Indians, who were rapidly advancing on Minneapolis. Dr. Ames had been appointed orderly sergeant, a musket was issued to him, which he still possesses, and he was ordered to gather up the men of his command for active duty. A few days afterward he was commissioned assistant surgeon Seventh Minnesota Regiment Infantry Volunteers, and was ordered to report to that regiment then en route to Fort Ridgeley, which the Indians were infesting. Dr. Ames served with his regiment during its three years of hard service, and was promoted to the rank of Surgeon Major July, 1864, when he was only twenty-two years of age. Dr. Ames returned to Minneapolis at the close of the war, but being of an adventurous and ambitious spirit he set out for California by way of the Isthmus in 1868. In California he went into the newspaper business and soon became managing editor of the Alta California, the leading paper on the Pacific Coast. In the fall of 1874 he was summoned back to Minneapolis to the death-bed of his father, and he has been a resident of the city almost continuously ever since. He was always taken an active interest in politics, his political sentiments being those ordinarily entertained by those who are known as "war Democrats." In the fall of 1867 he was elected a member of the legislature from Hennepin County on what was called the "soldier's ticket." In 1876 he was elected "centennial mayor" of [p.65] Minneapolis. In 1882 he was again elected to the same office, and in 1886 was for the third time chosen mayor of the city. In the latter year he was nominated by the Democratic party for governor and in the race for the latter office reduced the previous large Republican majorities to only 2,600, the actual result being in doubt for some days. He was also defeated as Democratic nominee for congress and for lieutenant governor, having the misfortune to belong to the minority party in the state. At this writing Dr. Ames maintains an independent stand regarding politics, his Democracy meaning Jeffersonianism and his interest in politics being directed chiefly by his sympathy for the masses. In accepting the nomination for Governor in 1886, Dr. Ames asked the Democratic convention to pledge the party to the support of a bill for the establishment of a Soldier's Home in Minnesota. This resolution was adopted, and, although his party was unsuccessful, the Republicans accepted his suggestions and the result is the commodious and well appointed retreat for the aged and indigent veterans on a commanding site at the junction of the romantic Minnehaha with the majestic Mississippi. Dr. Ames served as surgeon of this institution for nearly five years after its establishment when his professional duties necessitated his resignation. Dr. Ames has been Master of Hennepin Lodge, No. 4, of the Masonic order; High Priest of St. John's Chapter, No. 9; Eminent Commander of Zion Commander, No. 2, Knights Templar, and Grand Chancellor of the Grand Commandery Knights Templar of Minnesota. He has been Chancellor Commander of Minneapolis Lodge, No. 1, Knights of Phythias, Grand Chancellor of Minnesota and Supreme Representative to the Supreme Lodge of the world from this jurisdiction. He was on the charter list of No. 44, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the pioneer lodge of the Northwest, and its first Exalted Ruler. He is a member of the G. N. Morgan Post, No. 4, G. A. R.

Biography William Folsom, Fifty Years in the Northwest:

Alfred Elisha Ames, M.D., was born at Colchester, Vermont, Dec. 13, 1814. He was the oldest son of Billy and Phebe (Baker) Ames, whose ancestors were early colonists from England. Alfred E. commenced the study of medicine in 1832. He occasionally taught school and worked at his trade of brickmason. He also varied his labors by publishing an arithmetic. He came West in 1838, locating first at Springfield, Illinois; concluded his medical studies at Rush Medical College, Chicago, in 1845. Before leaving Illinois he was elected to the state senate. In 1851 he came to St. Anthony Falls, made a claim, and entered into partnership with Dr. J. H. Murphy. In 1852 he served as surgeon at Fort Snelling, and in 1853 was elected to the territorial legislature as a member of the house. In 1854 he was elected probate judge; in 1857 member of the Democratic wing of the constitutional convention, and in 1860 became a member of the state normal board. During the remainder of his life he devoted himself to the practice of medicine, but also served the public in many positions of trust. He died Dec. 24, 1874. His wife and five children survive him.1
