"Family tradition has it that Miss Ellis' mother was Marraby Ellis, probably the wife of General Ellis of Marietta, Ohio. The family Bible gives a record of twelve children. The first, John, born 1792, died five years later; the second son, George Adams, was born in 1794. The first daughter, Elizabeth, was born in 1796, at which time it is probable that Adams was still living near Cincinnati, which had ceased to be known as Fort Washington in January, 1790, upon the arrival of Governor St. Clair… Elizabeth Adams at about the age of twenty married Caleb Worley, and in 1823 removed to Covington, Miami County, where she resided until she was past ninety years of age. Another son, Thomas, was born in 1798, and died at the age of thirty-three; Isabella Adams was born in 1800 and died at the age of fourteen; Mary, born in 1802, lived but two years and Nancy, born in 1803, lived until near the close of the Civil War. Another son, William Adams, was born in 1806, but the date of his death is to me unknown, while Margaret, born in April, 1808, died in the same month; Caleb, born in 1809, died in 1842, and Cynthia was born in 1811. The last child, Martha Adams, born in 1816, married Robert L. Harper, died in 1894, and the family Bible was last known to be in the possession of her daughter, Martha Brubaker, a grand-daughter of George Adams. A grand-daughter of Elizabeth Adams, who married Caleb Worley, resides in Greenville, and her oldest son, Oscar Kerlin, Jr., was one of the two boys who unveiled the Treaty Tablet, in Greenville on August 3rd, 1906." — excerpt from "Ohio Arch. and Hist.
