Adams, Madison, GA Date Of Burial: February 4, 1920 Place Of Burial: Stinchcomb Date Recorded: February 3, 1920 Source Of Record: Online GA Death Certificates Certificate No.: 903 Additional Comments: Cemetery records for Stinchcomb UMC do not show this deceased, although there are numerous unmarked graves there. I believe this deceased is probably the Milford Adams who married Martha Alvera Hansard on 23 Dec 1875 in Elbert Co. Her full name was Martha Alvera Zedorah Thornton Hansford/Hansard, born 19 Jan 1855, as shown in her Bible which contained the names of all of the children of her parents William Patrick Hansard (1814-1892) and Lucinda Hardy (1816-1876). Milford Adams and wife Alvera are in the 1880 Elbert Co. census, then shown as Silas M. Adams and Vera in the 1900 census, then as Milford S. Adams in the 1910 census. They had a son William N.Adams, it being noted that the informant on the death certificate was William N. Adams of Madison, GA. The household of William N. Adams in the 1920 census of Morgan Co., GA shows wife Minnie, children Willian N. and Frances T.,plus Ranie and Sam J. Adams, children of Milford Adams and Martha Alvera Hansard. Further research is recommended. [Ref.: Book "The Hansard-Hansford Family History", Vol. I, pages 309-310, by Winnie H.
