Hello,

I am looking for information on the men in the late 1800s named Sam V. ADAMS
and John C. ADAMS who married Mrs. Sallie E. RAMMAGE, and is mentioned in
information from Franklin Parish, Louisiana near Liddieville as shown below.
Sam V. ADAMS died a short time after marrying Callie Martha MUNN who later
married my grandfather, Louis Hector "Hec" SLAUGHTER, who then after Callie's
death married Mary LEE and then 3rd wife, my grandmother, Ethel Rosalie
HATTEN, whose 1st husband was Joseph Marion WOMACK, Sr..

I am interested in knowing whether Sam V. ADAMS and John C. ADAMS are related
and if John C. ADAMS family from Maryland is connected to a WILLIAMS family
from Maryland in abt. 1790 who also moved to Franklin Parish, Louisiana
perhaps containing the name of Otho WILLIAMS in the family group.

Looking forward to hearing from anyone. PLEASE SEE THE INFORMATION BELOW

Thanks.

Sincerely,

Bellinda Myrick - Barnett

Mar 12 John C. Adams, a native of Maryland, but resident of
Franklin parish since 1866, came here when a small boy
with his parents. Was always a good, moral boy. Well
liked by all who knew him, had been a resident of
Winnsboro for 25 years or more. On the 11th April 1889
was married to Miss Sallie E. Ramage, was a member of
the M. E. church south and a steward therein, also a
member of lodge #246 F. & A.M., of the W. O. W., K.
of P., and Odd Fellows and an efficient member in all
these orders. For the past 7 or 8 years was an efficient
deputy sheriff. While in the discharge of his official duty
as an officer of the law in attempting to arrest a negro,
was shot by the negro and instantly killed. The negro
overpowered him, took his pistol from him and made the
fatal shot. Mar 12, 1910 about 4 o'clock A.M.

1907 July 28 Mrs. Callie Slaughter, wife of Lewis H. Slaughter, and
sister of John V. Munn. Born in Missouri, about 45
years ago, her age not precisely known. Had been a
resident of Franklin parish, about 30 years. She first
married Sam A. Adams in Jan. 1882 and he lived only
a few months, less than one years. She was a true
Christian, member of Methodist E. church South many
years prior to her death. For the last 5 or 6 years she was
a sufferer from some internal wrong. On Tuesday 23
July she was carried to the sanitarium at Natchez, Miss.
to have a surgical operation performed. The matter
had been delayed too long. The operation was performed
Wednesday the 24th and at 1 o'clock A.M. Friday 26th
she died. It was her request that her body be kept at her
husband's father's house and one night at her brother's
(who was living in her own house) and to be buried on
Sunday the 28th July. The request was complied with
She was highly esteemed by her neighbors and all who
knew her. A good woman is gone! A very large crowd
of people attended the funeral procession and burial at
the graveyard. The estimate is 300 persons. The services
were conducted at the grave by the writer. She leaves
three sons and one daughter.
