SETH ADAMS
A PIONEER OHIO SHEPHERD
By Charles Sumner Plumb
Among the pioneers of the Northwest
Territory,
along the Ohio border on the east, were
many men of
sterling worth and rather unusual
administrative ability.
Notably among these men in Ohio
history, was Seth
Adams.
The following pages will briefly
discuss his ancestry,
review his movements as a citizen and
pioneer, and set
forth his relationship to early day
American sheep hus-
bandry.
The Adams genealogy herewith was
furnished by
a grandson of Seth, Mr. Washington
Adams of Zanes-
ville, who is now (1933) 83 years of
age, in good health,
with clear mental faculties.
THE ADAMS FAMILY GENEALOGY
HENRY ADAMS of Braintree, Massachusetts, came to
America in 1634 from England, and died
in 1646. He
was seven generations removed from
Seth. Henry had
a family of eight children.
