Bill,
Thanks for your thoughts, what a huge mystery, I do show
that John Qunicy "Jess" Adams married Mary E. "Mollie" Sowell ca
1878 before he married Mary Frances Ledford in 1882. I just simply
have not done enough in-detail research on this family, so please
take what I say as possible research material only. Of course John
Qunicy "Jess" was a twin of Mary who died as a child, and I believe
he is the one in the 1900 Fulton Co. AR. Big Creek Census. Although
listed as born Feb 1851 (If I read it right) all of the kids fit, and
I simply don't believe two people having children, same sex, same
year, named them the same, but I could be convinced, I have lost many
arguments before and by the way I do it gracefully. I have only been
at this for 40 some years and nothing is ever exactly correct.
Don
