Where Did They Go From Here?

ADAMS, William Keene - of Caroline County was my great grandfather.  Supposedly his family were horse breeders from Winston-Salem area of North Carolina.  At some point they moved to Caroline County before the Civil War.  Caroline County records show he volunteered for the Union Army.  I have his Union sabre.  I think I have photos of a Gettysburg reunion encampment that he attended when he was older.  After the Civil War (I don't know what year), he moved to Lancaster County, PA.  My sister has a photograph of him and seven other men who were the Lancaster City police force in 1879. She also has his police whistle.  At some point later on, he moved to Muncy, IN and operated a grocery store.  As far as I know, he died in Indiana.  His son, Norman Alpheus Adams, my mother's father, was a sailor in the Spanish American war.  My son, who still lives in Lancaster County and was a submariner himself, has Norman's naval uniform.    ParkSchimp@aol.com

DILL - I have a published biography of my great grand father that says that his father Benjamin Dill (born circa 1783) came from Kent Co., DE to Mason Co., KY when he was small but the biography does not mention who Benjamin’s father was.  The biography also mentions that the family moved from Mason Co., KY to Clermont Co., OH in 1813.  I have since found the will of Solomon Dill (born circa 1755 in Kent Co., De) who died in Clermont Co., OH in 1820 that lists this Benjamin Dill and the rest of his children.  I have not been able to find a will or other vital record that says who were the parents this Solomon Dill (note that there are several Solomon Dills in the Kentucky and Ohio region at that time).  George D.

PERMAR - William PERMAR lived in the Tuckahoe Hundred area of Caroline County in the  18th century at and probably before the Revolutionary War. He died in 1779 but his son James Permar and grandson James Permar JR and their families continued to farm in this area from 1777-1820 . All members of this family seem to have mysteriously left the area  and appear in the 1830 census farming in Middletown Township,  DELAWARE COUNTY, PA. (Henry Permar, son of James and several family members) They remained farming in this area into the 1870's were quite good farmers and became the largest farm producer in  Delaware County for some time. WILLIAM PERMAR who died in 1779 had a son born later in life to a second wife. His name was John and after the death of William Permar in 1779 this second wife remarried and moved with sone John to Ohio where this John established the Permar line there.    All this info, can be verified by U.S. and Maryland censuses and a family history written by a descendant in 1911.
