George Washington Adams
Photo's contributed by Donnie Dunn <http://www.rootsweb.com/~archreg/vols/00010.html> While the family was on the way from South Carolina to Kentucky, George Washington Adams was born in Powell Valley, Tennessee, and was a son of Robert Adams, a Revolutionary War soldier. The name of his mother before her marriage was Rebecca Wiley, a daughter of James Wiley, of Chester District, South Carolina. George was the youngest child of the family. The family had quite a journey in coming to Kentucky, and stopped several times on their way, especially near where Asheville, North Carolina is now located. His father and mother finally settled and took up and purchased land on Fishing Creek, In Pulaski County, Kentucky, and near where Ansel Post Office was later located. On this land, and farm, the children, including George, were brought up, but without the benefit of schools, were taught and were under the necessity of working hard to clear up the wilderness, so that the family could have a home and a living, and there were quite a number of them.

(Click to enlarge) In December 1816, George married Nancy Morrow, a daughter of Samuel Morrow, who lived near what was later, Etna, in the northern part of Pulaski County. Marriage intent. After his marriage, George became a prosperous farmer for his day and time. Much of the land taken up by his father came into his possession, either by purchase or gift. He put up and kept a little store, and in a small way was a merchant, which is another sign that he was getting along well, and was well-to-do for his neighborhood. For a long time his old home remained in the possession of his descendants, and in 1936 was the home of one of his great-grandsons. That he was a man of considerable note in his community is evidenced by the fact that the Governor of the State appointed him a Justice of the Peace for the county, and he filed his commission as such March 20, 1843. The constitution and laws of the State at that time required that one of the justices of the peace should become sheriff, and under this provision he became sheriff of the county. Physically, he was low and heavy set, and had dark sandy hair and whiskers. In religion he was a Baptist, and was the chief organizer of the first church of this denomination in the community, and did much to keep it going until the Christian Church became dominant in that neighborhood, which church he was one of the leaders in its organization. The exact date of his death is not known, but the records of Pulaski County show that his son, Franklin, was appointed his administrator November 21, 1853, and it is presumed that he died some few days before this time. His death was caused by some kind of a stroke, and he lived only a few days thereafter.
