Jesse Adams (57123305)
Suggested edit: Jesse Adams married Laura, daughter of Eliphalet and Elizabeth (Robinson) Edmunds, in Jefferson County, Adams, New York on December 9, 1821, and died in Allen County, Jefferson Township, Indiana on December 26, 1855 (New Haven I.O.O.F. Cemetery). Laura died in Jefferson Township on December 25, 1891 (New Haven I.O.O.F. Cemetery).
On April 16, 1821, John and Rebecca Adams of Rodman deeded Jesse Adams of Rodman land, lying in both Adams and Rodman including 40 acres near A. Lovelands, adjacent a bridge across Fish Creek, Fish Creek, and Sandy Creek, and 10 acres on Fish Creek, adjacent John Adams Jr., and 1 acre on Fish Creek, adjacent John Adams Jr. (recorded May 1821).
On September 23, 1822, Jesse and Laura Adams of Rodman deeded Rial Strickland 10 acres in Adams and Rodman, adjacent a bridge across Fish Creek, Sarah Liveland, Sandy Creek, and John Adams, and an acre on Fish Creek between Adams and Rodman (witnessed by John Adams and recorded by Judge Eliphalet Edmunds on July 5, 1825).
On April 26, 1823, Thomas C. Chittenden deeded James and Jesse Adams of Adams 31 acres in Lorraine (recorded July 28, 1823). On July 18, 1823, James and Hannah Adams and Jesse and Laura Adams deeded Orrin Potter 31 acres of lot 75, township 1 in the town of Lorraine, adjacent the road from Rome to Adams, George Hitchcock, William Constable, Abner Baker, and Freeman Webb (recorded July 28, 1823, by Judge Eliphalet Adams).
Jesse resided in Jefferson County, Rodman, New York in 1820 (000110-00000), moved to Allen County, Indiana in 1823, and stayed in the Old Fort (Fort Wayne) for several months, before settling in what is now Adams Township. He purchased 97 acres along the Maumee River in Adams Township on December 2, 1824 (97.95 acres in section 2 of Adams Township, granted on July 5, 1825). According to Griswold's History of Fort Wayne (1917):
"Among the group of pioneers who cleared homes for themselves and their families in the thick forests which covered the land to the east of Fort Wayne was Jesse Adams, of Rochester, New York. It seems a noteworthy fact that so large a proportion of the very early settlers of Allen county migrated from New York or the extreme east, stamping, as they must have done, the wilderness life with the more refined standards of the life they had left behind them at the call of fortune. Whatever may be said on this point it is not to be questioned that the New Yorkers of that epoch left and indelible impress on the public character of Fort Wayne and as vicinity, easily a leader, owing, possibly, to superior training added to native ability, Mr. Adams was elected Squire of the new township at the election following its establishment in 1826. The year following he performed the first marriage ceremony celebrated in the township"..."On Mr. Adams' farm located near New Haven, was the site of the first burying ground for the settlement, the pioneer's own daughter being the first to be interred there, in 1825. It would require a separate biography to do justice to the first Squire of Adams, but, pervasive as his personality must have been in pioneer society, it bespeaks his fine character that though he christened it, the township was not named for himself, for he declared the name to be in memory and honor only of the great John Quincy Adams. Jefferson Township was the scene of the later years of Mr. Adams' life. The first township election, at which Squire Adams was elected, was held the second Monday of March, 1826, at the home of Eliphalet Edmunds, who with William Caswell, Israel Taylor, Philip Fall, the three Weekses-Charles, Sr., Charles, Jr., and Martin-and Capt. Hurst complete the original group of Adams township settlers."
In addition to farming, he was a doctor, and proficient in the art of bloodletting. His medical bag and instruments are currently in the possession of his great great great grandson, Donald Adams. Griswold continues:
"The professional history of Adams township is of course, begun with its physicians, which have been more prominent and numerous than in other parts of Allen county. Not to be forgotten among the many fields of pioneer life in which Jesse Adams worked is the practice of the kindly art of healing the township sick. While he was not a graduate physician, natural talent and a general and doubtless cultivated intelligence made him equal to the emergencies of the period, and he is fairly entitled to rank as the first Adams township doctor."
Jesse resided in Allen County, Adams Township, Indiana in 1830 (1m- 5, 1m5/10, 1m30/40, 1f-5, 1f20/30). On January 5, 1835, he sold part of his Adams Township farm to Rufus McDonald, and purchased land in Jefferson Township on March 5, 1836 (patent July 20, 1846) along what is now U.S. 24 and 30. Jesse resided in Allen County, Jefferson Township, Indiana in 1840 (1m-5, 1m10/15, 1m15/20, 1m 40/50, 2f-5, 1f5/10, 1f20/30, 1f30/40), and 1850.
In October 1850, Jesse had 35 acres cleared, 45 acres undeveloped, 2 horses, 3 milk cows, 8 other cattle, 10 sheep, 12 swine, 130 bushells of wheat, 150 bushells of Indian corn, and 30 bushells of oats. He had 107.43 acres in section 7 of Jefferson Township, adjacent A. Lowrey, M. M. Stull, H. Helmich, William Heine, and E. Neal.
Laura lived with her son, John, and was bedridden for the last 12 years of her life. Jesse and Laura were originally buried in Adams Cemetery, but were later moved to the New Haven I.O.O.F. Cemetery.
