Mr. Griffin,

My name is John (Jack) Stoudenmire Carter and I am a descendant of Elizabeth Brazil Culpepper who married Cuthbert Adams on 4 Jan. 1838 in Laurens Co. GA. She is the daughter of Henry Culpepper. One of my brothers, James (Jim) Wyatt Carter, and I have been researching our family tree for almost 10 years now. Our relative, Cuthbert Adams is listed as an heir of Henry Culpepper in the Laurens Co. records of1839. I have made a trip to Dublin GA to research the Adams family using their extensive library of genealogical materials and have met Alan Thomas who allowed me to photo copy rare documents of the Adams family. We have encountered a road block relative to the Parents of Cuthbert Adams. My brother and I believe that he is the son of Peter Adams and Lydia Adams though he is not listed in a book naming Peter Adams children. We believe this since the census records show two male children born between 1810 and 1820 and also because Cuthbert Adams was given an identical lot to William Adams, the known oldest son of Peter Adams, in the estate of Peter Adams. William Adams was born in Jan. 1812. Cuthbert Adams was born in 1813 or 1814. Both were born in North Carolina. Other known children were Ethlinda Adams (1819), Sarah Jane Adams (1820), Wyriott Cason Adams (1823), and Mannassah Adams (1828/29). All of these children were born in Georgia.

If you have any information regarding the parents of Cuthbert Adams or where he came from or perhaps know of other resources that we may research could you please let me know. I would be greatly indebted to you!

Thank you,

Jack Carter.5
