Email from Lynell Cordell:

I've been working on the Adams family lately. Lizzie 'Adams' Trawick's family was in Van Buren Co. Ar in 1860 & 1870 and then disappeared. I found two marriages in Van Buren Co. that I thought could be their daughters, Mary Jane married Alfred Bost and Martha E. married George Parnell. So I traced both of them to Jack Co. Texas and today I came across the 1880 Jack Co. census online and couldn't believe it when I saw William V. and Nancy Adams there! How about that?

David married Lucy Fisher. Lucy was born before 1804 in Tennessee; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

At the time of the 1860 census, he was living with what appears to be a second wife, as she is some 30 years younger than he. Her name is also Elizabeth, as was his first wives name. Monica Hightower, on the Genforum "Carroll" Message board stated that his second wife was Elizabeth BEARDING. It is assumed the youngest children in the household at 1860 were those of Elizabeth BEARDING, and presumably Alfred.
