The Chickasaw History reports that Charles Adams and Fannie Colbert-Green-Cochran had no children. This source reports that they married in about 1879. But the sources reports that Fannie married her next husband, Thoephilus East, on 13 May 1884. But one of Charles' children, Charles, was born abt 1885, estimated fomr his age in teh 1910 census. He could have been borni n 1884. So it had previously appeared that he was Fannie's son. Another child, Oliver, was born Dec 1881 according to the 1900 census. I had assumed this meant that Fannie and Charles had married about 1880 or 1879. This matches Chckasaw History. But it also appeared that both these sons were Fannie's. Fannie would have been about 50 when Oliver was born, possible, and a bit older when Charles was born, stretching it. But if Fannie is not their mother, I do not know who the mother was, and the birth date for Charles Jr would seem to be wrong, if the Chickasaw History sources is correct about the marriage date of Fannie and Charles Sr. "She married Charles Adams circa 1879. (Charles Adams is #26911.) She married Dr. Theophilus H. East in Berwyn, Pickens Co., Chick Nation, IT, 13 MAY 1884. They had no children." -- Chickasaw History, Francis Colbert, http://www.chickasawhistory.com/colbert/i0026899.htm#i29612b U.S. Native American Enrollment Cards for the Five Civilized Tribes, 1898-1914, www.ancestry.com 25 Sep 1902, Dawes' Roll #4315, Census Card #1615 Frances East, Age 71, Birth Abt 1831 Dawes' Roll #4316, Census Card #1615 Daniel Green, Age 28, Birth Abt 1874 Dawes' Roll #4317, Census Card #1615 Charles Adams, Age 22, Birth Abt 1880 Tribal Affiliation Chickasaw By Blood

Ina's age is 18 on her marriage license in September 1896. No children are recorded from this marriage. It is not known exactly when Ina died. There is a possibility they were divorced, but there is no record. You can see the license at the following address: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~troy/terry/duncan_ina.html
We first find Ina Mabel Adams in 1880 in the household of her grandparents, Silas Paul and Louisa D Rownd, in Ethel, Arkansas. Her mother Viola Rownd died about 2 weeks after childbirth, likely from complication of childbirth. Viola's husband Augustus Adams moved to Montana after her death. 1880 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 11 June, page 18B, Hse #124, Fam #129 Silas Round W M 49 Blacksmith Indiana Maryland Maryland L D Round W F 46 Wife House Keeper Indiana New York Maryland W S Round W F 22 Son Rafting Illinois Indiana Indiana Ina Mabel Adams W F 7 Granddaughter Kansas Arkansas Illinois In 1930 she is in Bell County, Texas, with her husband John W Rose, and three children. The boy's name is uncertain, scrawled by the enumerator. It is transcribed by Ancestry.com as Gurath. But that seemed questionable to me. It appeared to end in -tle. I transcribed the census entry as Gurstle. I later discovered a genealogy in the One World Tree of Ancestry.com that lists the name as Gerstle. A descendant, Robbi Cline, tells me: "I remember Uncle Gerstle. My g-mom Zona is not on the below census as she was a grown woman with two kids of her own, Reverda and James." 1930 Federal Census, Bell County, Texas, 5 April, District 25, page 3A, Hse/Fam #51 Rose, John W Head M W 58 AR TN AR Farmer Rose, Ina M Wife F W 56 KS AR IL Rose, Gurstle P Son M W 21 TX AR KS Rose, Bertha Dau F W 17 TX AR KS Rose, Sylvia Dau F W 15 TX AR KS The One World Tree genealogy identifies Ina and John as married in Ethel, Arkansas, and gives Ina's place of birth as Temple, in Bell County, Texas. This corroborates the listing in the 1930 census in Bell County. That genealogy shows Ina's husband as John Wilheim Rose. He is listed as John W Rose in the 1930 census. I wonder if this spelling is a mis-reading of the name Wilhelm. Robbi Cline wrote me in February 2008 with more information on the family: "I’m a direct descendant of Ina Mable Adams Rose. I have a few pictures of Ina and John as well as one picture of John’s parents Zachariah and Mary. "My Dad is Reverda Lee Townzen 03/29/1919 still living "His Mom was Zona Enola Rose-Townzen 01/20/1896 "Grandmother's Mom was Ina Mable Adams-Rose 04/22/1873" In another email Robbi said, "John Emmitt and Zona (John and Ina Rose's daughter) are my grandparents. Zacharia and Mary Rose are John's parents. Reverda is my dad and James is his brother. Marcus "Dick" and Minnie Rozelle are John Emmitt's parents." From 6 genealogy trees in One World Tree of Ancestry.com, we get a full list of the children of Wilheim and Ina Mable, and details on some.

In the 1920 census, I found Andrew and his wife Rosie with their children in Brown County, Texas. 1920 Federal Census, Brown County, Texas, 7 February, Justice Precinct 4, District 11, page 12A, Hse #239, Fam #245 Adley, Andrew Head M W 57 Tex Louisiana Louisiana Laborer Adley, Rosie Wife F W 40 Tex US US Adley, Nellie Dau F W 20 Tex Tex Tex Adley, Zealia Dau F W 19 Tex Tex Tex Adley, Johnie Son M W 17 Tex Tex Tex Adley, William Son M W 15 Tex Tex Tex Adley, Andrew Jr Son M W 11 Tex Tex Tex Adley, Lee Son M W 9 Tex Tex Tex Adley, Rosie Dau F W 6 Tex Tex Tex
I find Lee Adley listed as Lee in the public records I have found. But his son is named as Otdies Lee Adley Jr in his birth certificate. There was some confusion about Lee Roy's name because several sources referred to his son as Otdies Lee Junior. In April 2008, I got an email form a descendant, Patricia Ferguson Williams, who clarified the matter of the names: "His name was Otdies Lee Adley, and his father's name was Lee Roy Adley. The 'Junior' part came in when his mother said 'Well, the first son is always called Junior.' But they did not have the same name. The son was called 'Lee,' and the father was called 'Lee Roy'." I got Ruby Henson's name from the Texas Birth Index record for Otdies Lee Jr's brother Edward John Adley. In the 1920 census, I found Lee Roy listed as Lee with his parents Andrew and Rosie in Brown County, Texas. 1920 Federal Census, Brown County, Texas, 7 February, Justice Precinct 4, District 11, page 12A, Hse #239, Fam #245 Adley, Andrew Head M W 57 Tex Louisiana Louisiana Laborer Adley, Rosie Wife F W 40 Tex US US Adley, Nellie Dau F W 20 Tex Tex Tex Adley, Zealia Dau F W 19 Tex Tex Tex Adley, Johnie Son M W 17 Tex Tex Tex Adley, William Son M W 15 Tex Tex Tex Adley, Andrew Jr Son M W 11 Tex Tex Tex Adley, Lee Son M W 9 Tex Tex Tex Adley, Rosie Dau F W 6 Tex Tex Tex In the 1930 census, Lee is working on the farm of Boyd Turner in Milam County, Texas. He is listed as a boarder, but his occupation is reported as Farm Laborer. I assume he is working on the farm where he is staying, but that is not specifically indicated. 1930 Federal Census, Milam County, Texas, 16 April, Justice Precinct 5, District 21, page 2B, Hse/Fam #38 Adley, Lee Boarder M W 19 Tex Tex Tex Laborer, Farm
Thanks to Patricia Williams, who contacted me with information on the death of Otdies Lee Adley: "Otdies Lee Adley died in Fort Collins, Colorado about Jan. 23-24, 2003. Obit appeared in newspaper on Jan. 25, 2003, and graveside services were held on that day." With this clue, I went searching for online records and found the Social Security Death Index for Otdies Lee, which gave the exact day of death: Otdies L. Adley, Born 4 Nov 1934, Died 22 Jan 2003, SSN: 463-52-0947 issued Texas (1951), Last Residence: 80526 Fort Collins, Larimer, Colorado Interestingly, I found public records compilations that indicated Otdies' birthday was in July: Otdies L Adley, Birth Date: Jul 1934; Street address: 3721 Soderburg Dr, Fort Collins, Larimer County, Colorado, 80526; Phone Number: 970-225-9356 Also at this address I find records for him under the name of Lee R Adley, but with the same age, and associated with Shirley Adley (no info on the divorce in this collection). Some public records listings have him under the name of Lee, and with the correct birth month: Lee Adley, Birth Date: Nov 1934; Street address: 2300 W County Road 38 E, Fort Collins, Larimer County, Colorado, 80526; Phone Number: 970-225-9356 The Texas Birth Index, which I found next, confirms the date of birth as 4 November 1934. But note how they entered his name: Otis Lee Jr. Adley Date of Birth: 4 Nov 1934, Milam County, Texas, Gender: Male, Father's Name: Lee Adley Mother's Name: Ruby Henson This is also the first source that tells us what county he was born in. The designation of Jr would tell us that his father, named Lee here, is also Otis (Otdies) Lee Adley. However, I found out this is not the case, when Patricia Williams again gave me some insider information on the matter: "His name was Otdies Lee Adley, and his father's name was Lee Roy Adley. The 'Junior' part came in when his mother said 'Well, the first son is always called Junior.' But they did not have the same name. The son was called 'Lee', and the father was called 'Lee Roy.'" Patricia goes on to tell us: "Lee Roy was the son of Andrew Adley, and Andrew was the son of John Henry Adley." His father is also enumerated as Lee in the censuses of 1920 and 1930 with his parents. I have not foudn marriage information, but , oddly enough, I found the record of Otdies Lee's divorce from Shirley Ann Childers in 1972, which also gives us the marriage date: VITAL RECORDS - TARRANT COUNTY, TX - DIVORCE 1972 http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/tarrant/vitals/divorces/1972/tarrv72a.txt File# Husband Age Wife Age Child Under 18 Marriage Date Divorce Date 17250 ADLEY OTDIES L 37 SHIRLEY 28 1 21-Aug-1965 09-Mar-1972
