Coonrod "Coony" Adams was born in NC between 1770 and 1775 and died in then Crawford Co. MO in 1835. Some records show his name as Coonard, and descendants have been named Coonard and Conrad. The exact spelling may never be known. Coonard Kitchen, son of George Patterson Kitchen and Elizabeth (Adams) Kitchen, was named after him.
Coonrod Adams was the patriarch of the earliest Adams family to settle in what in now Phelps Co. While Coonrod did not settle here until about
1834, some of his children had settled in the area in the 1820's.
Coonrod's wife, Mary "Polly", was born about 1772 and died between 1850 and 1860 in Spring Creek Township, where she had resided with her daughter, Elizabeth (Adams) Kitchen Reynerson.
Other records give Coonrod a wife named Martha E. Benton (also listed as Mary "Polly" Benton). It is presently uncertain if he (or she) was married more than once or if some error has been made.
Prior to settling in Phelps Co, Coonrod and Mary lived in the eastern part of Marion Co. KY, where their ten known children were born. Coonrod's father is unknown, but it is known that his mother's given name was Catherine. She died in KY. Coonrod may have had at least one brother or sister who had one child, who's name was Polly Bryant, in 1819. Her age is not known, nor is it known if Bryant was her maiden or married name.
Children (the following list is somewhat uncertain and may contain errors; all children are believed to have been born Bradfordsville, now in Marion Co., Kentucky):
John Adams [1790-1795, Bradfordsville, now in Marion Co., KY]. Find-a-Grave contributor Tina states he did not die at an early age as he was witnessing his grandmother's will in 1819.
Henry Adams [born 27 Jan. 1795, Bradfordsville, KY - died 18 Oct. 1852, Phelps Co., Missouri; buried Old Hale Cemetery, Phelps Co.; married Sarah Arthur.] Henry's mother given to be Martha E. Benton on his F-a-G. memorial.

Sarah Adams [born 13 Jan. 1800, Bradfordsville, KY -died 17 Jan. 1863, Corn Creek, Phelps Co., Missouri; married William David Arthur 28 May 1818, Washington Co., KY]
Riley Andrew Adams [1801-1888]
George Adams [1802, Bradfordsville, now in Marion Co., KY - died unknown]
Catherine Adams [born 24 April 1803, Bradfordsville, KY - died 19 Nov. 1890, Redding, Calif.; buried Redding Memorial Park, Shasta Co., Calif.; married John Benedict Lamb 1 April 1822, Washington Co., KY; moved Union Twp., Crawford Co., MO, later in Norman Twp., Dent Co., MO. Mother given to be Mary "Polly" Benton on her F.-a.-G. memorial. ]

William Adams [1808- 8 Aug. 1885, near Sligo, Short Bend Twp., Missouri; married Charlotte Malone] ---Source: GOODSPEED'S BIOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL MEMOIRS OF NORTHEASTERN ARKANSAS Sharp County Arkansas - A through F, biography of grandson, William Jasper Adams "...William and Charlotte (Malone) Adams, who were born and raised in Washington County, Ky., he having been born in 1808 and she in 1811.
