Descendants of Joshua Adams

5. SAMUEL W.² ADAMS (JOSHUA¹) was born September 01, 1856 in Tippah County, Mississippi, and died December 20, 1930 in Flatonia, Texas. He married MARY ANN WIER March 08, 1877 in La Grange, Texas, daughter of JOHN WIER and MARGARET CARPENTER.

Notes for SAMUEL W. ADAMS:
From Valeska Vicars information:
In the 1900 U.S. Census Samuel's family lived near San Marcos, in Hayes County, Texas.

Notes for MARY ANN WIER:
Said to have had two children with Samuel.

1926: FLATONIA, FAYETTE COUNTY, GONE HOME. Mrs. Mary Ann Adams, born
October 15th, 1839, came to Texas at the age of 10, died December
16th, 1926 in San Antonio, aged 87 years, 2 months 1 day. Professed
faith and joined church at Flatonia, Texas in Major Penn's revival in
early eighties, member of Calvert Baptist Church at death.
A husband, eight sons, two brothers and one sister survive her. S. W.
Adams, husband, T. Y. Adams, San Antonio, Sam Patterson and W. P.
Patterson, Gonzales, B. Patterson, Wadsworth, M. Patterson, Gulf, I.
J. Patterson, Palacios, W. W. Patterson, Slaton, Tom Patterson, El
Frida, Arizona, sons. Mrs. Sarah Cockrill, San Antonio, sister. John
Wier, San Miguel and William Wier, Jeddo, brothers. Though the
weather was bad a goodly company of friends and relatives, among them
the sorrowing husband and five sons attended services which were
conducted from Flatonia Baptist Church. Until man's mind can measure
the value of life, no man can estimate the value of the life which has
just closed, one noble son voiced no doubt the thought of them all
when he said to his mother a few days ago. "Mother, what I am, You
made me." Our thoughts are directed to the state of the saved dead.
Paul says, "If this house were dissolved, we have another building, an
house not made with hands eternal in the heavens." Jesus says, "In my
father's house are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told
you, if I go away. I will come again and receive you unto myself." In
this hope we live, in faith she died. Hope has changed to glad
fruition. Faith to sight and prayer to praise. G. B. Lane
