Source notes
- Information on name, vital stats., and census extracts from correspondence of great-nephew Thomas G. Adams; no source given except for census; expect family records.
- children's names are from the 1910 & 1920 census; spellings & even gender vary between the two records. Daughter Cilla K. in 1910 is son Shelly in 1920, and Shelly K., head of his own household in 1930; Anna V. is Victoria; daughter Rixy becomes Hixy. Presumably Andre L. is Logan, and Grady L is Ellistin.
