Research indicates Rebeccah E. Awbrey Adams was married to George Earle Adams and Tandy Ward. Her children's surname was Adams. Her parents are listed as Benjamin Awbrey and Margaret 'Peggy' Houston Awbrey. According to interview with her grandson, Forrest Baskin Adams (abt. 1995), Tandy Ward was abusive to Emiline and they divorced. I have yet to find evidence of the divorce. She went by the last name Adams up until the day she died.

Note that she was an Adams when she married Ward. Etowah Co., AL marriage book "A", page 075-A, January 9, 1873 Emiline Adams married Tandy F. Ward
