Hello Everyone,

I am looking for anyone related to my ADAMS family. My 3rd Great-grandmother was MARTHA ADAMS who was born June 17,1842 in Indiana and died March 13, 1893 in Weir, Cherokee Co., Kansas. She married JOSEPH BAUM on August 10, 1862 in Clark County, MO. They had 6 children. The moved around alot, living in Scotland County MO, Schuyler County MO, Lee County Iowa, and finally Cherokee County, Kansas.
