His first wife was Cora (Fortune) Adams. The 1900 census of Dallas, Texas lists Claude B. Adams (transcribed as Charles Adams), 28, a mattress maker, with a second wife, Emma E. Adams, 22. His daughter Alva M Adams, age 3, was also listed with them. He and Emma were married in 1896, according to the census record, apparently soon after his daughter Alva was born. Emily E. Adams was still his wife in the 1910 Houston census (listed as C. B. and E. E. Adams), but he was listed as a widower in 1920.
The 1900 Dallas census shows he was born in April, 1872 in Georgia, but Houston census records show he was born 1873 in Alabama. The 1880 census of East Lampasas, Texas also shows he (Claudius Adams) was born in 1872 in Alabama. He does not appear to have a death certificate, just a Texas Death Index record.
In addition to his daughter, Mrs Leo Sanderson, he was survived by two sisters, Mrs George T. Johnson of Atlanta, Georgia, and Mrs H. T. Adams of Columbus, Ohio; a brother, A. A. Adams of Galveston, and one grandchild (from his obituary in the Houston Chronicle on January 14, 1932).
His brother Ansley Adam's WWI draft registration record in Galveston shows his name as Adie Ansley Adams.
