Quincy Adams (1833 ALA-1902 Sonora, Sutton Co., Texas) killed his neighbor Isaac
Myers. He lived the next 16 years hiding in his house in Sonora until his death to avoid going to jail.
John
Quincy Adams son of Henry
Adams (md 1830
StClairr Co.,AL) & Susan
Haney (possible dau. of Isaac & Susan Terry
Haney of
Jackson Co., ALA) who md 2nd James H. SEWELL.
John
Quincy Adams married 1856 in
Parker Co., Texas to Mary Ann
Sheen (1840 England-d.1925 TX, parents John
Sheen and Mary Ann
Davies of
Wales who died in Coleman Co.,Texas).
John
Quincy Adams parents are Henry
Adams and Susan
Haney (b.1814 SC-d. aft 1850 in LA or TX). They were married 15 Sep 1830 in St. Clair Co.,Alabama. The following deed proves that their children John Q. Adams, Martha Caroline
Poole Toler, and William
Adams were born in St. Clair Co.,Alabama.
23 Aug 1836, Deed Book A, pg. 391, St. Clair Co., Alabama Henry
Adams of St. Clair County and State of
Alabama for and in consideration of the sum of four hundred dollars to me in hand paid receipt whereof I do hereby acknowledge do this day bargain sell and release to Allen BOX of St. Clair County and State aforesaid the (North west fourth of the South East of quarter Section N 17 Township No. 15 in Range No. 5 East in the Tuscaloosa land District has been purchased by Lewis Watkins and by him conveyed to the sd. Henry

Adams to Allen BOX his heirs, ye and the said
Adams do hereby bind my self my heirs ye against any person or persons whomsoever may lawfully claim the same or any past thereof in Testimony whereof I hereunto set my hand and seal in presents of this 23rd August 1836.
Henry (X)
Adams wits: Henry W. BOX, Thomas R. ADAMS.
The State of
Alabama. Before me Joshua W. Hooper an acting St. Clair County
Justice of the
Peace in and for said County personally appeared Henry W. BOX being duly sworn deposeth and saith that he saw Henry
Adams Sign Seal and deliver the within and bargaing deed of conveyance to Allen BOX in the day and date therin written and for the purposes therin contained and that himself together with Thomas R. ADAMS Subscribed there names as witnesses thereto in each others presence and in the presence of the said Henry
Adams Sworn to and Subscribed before me Henry W. BOX this 3rd day of January 1838. Y. W. Hooper,
Justice of the peace, Received in office 3rd January 1838, recorded 3rd January 1838 Test. Joshua W. Hooper, Clerk. (I have copy).
I believe there is a possible relationship between above Thomas Robert
Adams and Henry
Adams because Thomas R. Adams was the security at Henry and Susan
Haney Adams marriage as well as a witness to the above deed. Thomas Robert
Adams is reported to have been the only heir of Rev. War soldier George
Adams (b.1752
Guilford Co., NC-d.1845
StClairr Co., ALA) of Laurens District SC. Henry
Adams was already dead he wouldn't have been considered to be an heir.
There are good indications that Susan
Haney might be a daughter of Isaac
Haney (1771 VA-d.1839
Jackson Co., ALA, son of John & Elizabeth
Foster Haney) and his wife Susanna Terry (dau. of George & Fanny Terry of Charlotte Co., VA). Allen Box in the above deed md 1836
StClairr Co.,ALA to Parmelia Caroline
Haney. After Allen Box's death in the Civil War, Parmelia C. Haney Box md Claborn Walton
Evans (his 1st wife Mariah Susan
Haney was also a daughter of Isaac & Susan Terry
Haney) in
Jackson Co., Alabama.
Also Rev. George T. Haney (b.1800 SC-d.aft 1870 Marshall Co., AL), a probable son of Isaac & Susan Terry
Haney, is the only
Haney in the 1830
StClairr Co., Alabama census yet there were several Haney's that married at this time in St. Clair that I think were also siblings of Susan
Haney.
Susan
Haney Adams md 2nd James H. SEWELL abt. 1840 when their probable daughter Susan b. 1842 & son James H. SEWELL, Jr. (b.1846 Ark-d.1871 killed by indians in Kimble Co.,Texas, md Sarah
Gossett, 2 children).
Susan & James H. SEWELL and children are in the 1850 Union Parish, Louisana Census (the only census I've found of them together) before they left for
Parker Co., Texas by 1854. The census taker has them all named
Sewell. But John Q. ADAMS, sister Martha Caroline
Poole Toler, and brother William
Adams are with the 2
Sewell children.
Is there anyone who is working on these lines? Any help would be appreciated.
