I noticed that you are applying to the DAR and I am also in the DAR through another line. If you go to the DAR website, you will find Robert Adams, A000555, in the database. If you look through the descendant line, perhaps you will connect to someone who has already made the direct link. I did things the hard way in my research and then I found out that my cousin had already blazed the trail and made the connection! Hopefully, you might get lucky and save some time. it's just a thought. Anyone doing genealogy research would do well to start on the DAR website. Good luck to you!

Col. David Dyer was my g-g-g-grandfather. After resigning in January 1863 (Armistead wanted him replaced) he disappears. Doesn't appear in any other census records, and by the 1880 census his 2 sons are living with their married sister and her family in Keeling, VA.

Henry Ward Adams and Annie Pauline Floyd , whose home was known as Monteflora. John is buried on the property. His grave headstone reads 1708 and 1816, but despite being quite old, the stone does not appear to be the original gravestone. Unmarked graves around him are presumably his second wife, and possibly his first wife, although she may have been buried at the now missing Chiles graveyard. There are many descendants in this graveyard, as recent as the last few years. Outside the graveyard walls are many more unmarked graves, presumably slaves. On the topic of slavery, if you visit the house nearby, you'll see a brick hut out back that was used to quarter slaves temporarily. There is evidence of shackles, which would have been used, for example, by slave traders who were traveling through the area. Not a pleasant thought, but there it is. If you are interested, I can put you in touch with a cousin who lives outside Lynchburg, the current owner of nearby Locust Hill.<br /><br />Henry Ward Adams was one of six children of Thomas Tunstall Adams and Matilda Ward. He was born June 20, 1823 and died December 25, 1899 in Campbell County, VA. He is buried next to his wife at the Ward ancestral home, the "Mansion" on the Staunton River near the mouth of the Otto River. None of Henry's three brothers married or had children, so he was the only son to carry on the family name when he married Annie Pauline Floyd on December 6, 1853 and subsequently raised 7 children. Henry was named for his mother's father, Henry Ward, son of John Ward and Ann Chiles. <br /><br />Henry and his wife lost their estate, "Monteflora," at the conclusion of the War Between the States. Henry fought for the confederacy, serving as a colonel in the 53rd Virginia Militia of Campbell County, VA from 1860 to 1862. Their son, Henry Ward Adams Jr., who was born during the Civil War, would later buy back his parent's estate, as well as the ancestral Ward estate, the "Mansion," and "Reed Creek," the ancestral home of Robert Adams Jr. and his wife Penelope Lynch, as a result of his financial success in the lumber business.Kirk LeComptehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14969005710795632805noreply@blogger.com
