Seeking information about the parents and possible siblings of
Ichabod Adams born, 20 Jul 1788. We can find no information as to where he was born other than in
Massachusetts. He is a possible son of a William
Adams and a possible brother of a Samuel
Adams. Ichabod married first
Polly Willis. Their intention was filed in 1815 in Belchertown, Hampshire County,
Massachusetts, and both are listed as of Belchertown. There is no record of their marriage in Belchertown. Polly died in Belchertown giving birth to a daughter,
Polly, in 1817. Ichabod was drafted into
Capt. Gilbert's Co., Massachusetts Militia, in
Enfield,
Hampshire Co., Massachusetts, in 1814 and he served 3 months in service during the War of 1812. Ichabod was not found on any
Massachusetts census. He emigrated to
Ohio probably in 1819 and he is found in
Thompson,
Geauga County,
Ohio, in 1820 and 1830 and in
Madison,
Lake County,
Ohio, in 1840 and 1866. There are no William
Adams in Belchertown on the 1790 Federal census. There is a William
Adams in Belchertown 1800 and 1810. There are 2 William
Adams on the 1790 census for
Berkshire County -- 1 in
Alford and 1 in
Bethlehem. There also is a William
Adams in
Bethlehem,
Berkshire County,
Massachusetts in 1800 bit none in 1810. The town of
Bethlehem apparently in now part of the town of
Otis,
Berkshire,
Massachusetts. There are no William
Adams in
Berkshire in 1820 and only 1 in
Hampshire -- this one is in
Enfield. I could find no record of Ichabod's birth in
Otis Town
Records that are available online to 1850, nor any record of marriages of William,
Ichabod, or Samuel. Does anyone have information about these individuals?
