I have no other info on Joseph or Elizabeth Adams, other than that they were born in PA. I found them in 4 censuses (1850-1880) in Sugar Creek, Wayne, OH. I couldn't find a Joseph Adams in 1840, in OH. So, I tried PA censuses, and found 2 possibilities (age-wise) for 1840. (Joseph would have been 40-42 years old, Elizabeth 33-36 years old, and their son, Isaac 14-15.) One was a Joseph Adams in Clearfield, Cambria, PA; and the other, Joseph Adams in Williamburg, Huntingdon, PA. I tried 1830 censuses for PA (adjusting ages), and found only one possibility: Joseph Adams, Northmoreland, Luzerne, PA. If I knew 'where' they came from in PA, I could try to find a marriage date or Issac's birth information. Sigh.
