Adamson, Jacob. The subject of this sketch is a native of Jefferson county,
Tennessee, born November 7, 1817. When twelve years of age he, with his parents
moved to Ray county, Missouri. After a residence here of three years, they took
up their residence in Caldwell county. On September 9, 1840, Mr. Adamson married
Miss Nancy J. Farley, and in 1841, he moved to Washington county, Iowa, and
carried on farming until 1850, when he emigrated to California, crossing the
plains with ox-teams. Soon after arriving in this State he purchased a farm in
Sacramento county, farmed for three years, and in the fall of 1854, came to this
county and settled on his present farm, located about five miles from Petaluma,
where he has since made his home. Emma J.; William H., Edward F., Mary E., John
M,, Isaac N., Charles W., Thomas M., and Rena Lillian, are the names of their
children.
