History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, ed. by William Henry Perrin, O. L. Baskin & Co., Chicago, 1882. p. 644.
[Harrison County] [Cynthiana City and Precinct]
WILLIAM ADDAMS, miller and distiller, P. O. Cynthiana, is a son of John and Lucy (Logan) Addams, daughter of Abner Logan of Fleming County. John Addams was born in Culpepper [sic] County, Va., in 1820; he came to Kentucky and pursued his vocation as a teacher with marked success; he died in 1861, and was followed to the grave in a few months by his devoted wife. Thus Wm. Addams was left an orphan at an early age, and had to struggle for his prominence in commercial and social circles. After receiving a meager education in the common schools he took a position with C. B. Cook & Co., and when that firm sold out to Peck and Van Hook he continued in that relation until 1864, when he became a partner with C. B. Cook in milling and distilling.
He was married Oct. 8, 1872, to Miss Cora V. Cook, daughter of his partner. The couple now have four children, viz: Rilla, Lizzie, Cora and Cyrus. Mr. Addams is a member of the Christian Church, but his wife is a communicant of the Episcopal denomination. Mr. Addams was born Sept. 6, 1850, and is consequently just 31 years of age. He has been honored by the people of Cynthiana with a seat in the City Council for the last six years, and is recognized as a safe and reliable business man, a high-toned and affable gentleman, and a useful citizen in every relation both public and private. He is a Democrat.
