WILLIAM H. ADAMS, BALDWIN.--William H. Adams, blacksmith and carriage maker,
was born in Mississippi.  He is the son of James A. and Margaret (Floyd)
Adams, natives of South Carolina.

Our subject grew to maturity in Mississippi, where he received his education.
He learned the blacksmith trade with his father, at which, on his own account,
he worked for a number of years.  He then left Mississippi; and made a tour
through eight different States, after which he located in the town of Baldwin,
where he has since worked at his trade-blacksmithing and carriage making, his
being the only establishment of the kind in Baldwin.  March 24, 1873, he
married Julia Forbes, a native of Mississippi, born in 1854, and daughter of
Jonathan Forbes.  Mr. and Mrs. Adams have a family of four children:  Minnie,
Medora,  William Albert and  John Quincy.  Our subject was at one time
