Notes:

1880 - Alva Adams wrote -
Barnabas Lothrop, born at Bastard, August 8th, 1812, the year that war was declared, and the year the family removed to the Stone Mills; was too young to be included in the charge to his two elder brothers, Arza and Alvah, "If you do not learn to swim this summer, I will thrash you!" They learned to swim, and escaped the thrashing. He at one time promised much, religiously, but went west with his brothers under curcumstances that left their religious prospects under a cloud in the minds of their friends. He is now dead, leaving several children - it is not known how many.


Barnabas Lothrope Adams Sr, was born to Elizabeth "Betsy" Chapman and Captain Joshua Adams.

Barnabus married Julia Annie Banker on June 23, 1846 in Des Moine, Iowa. His second wife was Hannah Gove Chase.

Barnabas Lothrop Adams, who was born in Canada, found his way to Iowa, where he married Julia Ann Banker. There they fell in with Brigham Young and his Mormons, became converts, and joined them in their long trek through the wilderness in search of a haven. That was in 1847, while the country in which they finally settled was still owned by Mexico. Asenath Ann Adams was born about three weeks after the Mormons ended their wild and dangerous journey.

?b?Barnabas Lathrop Adams ?/b?was a member of the 4th Quorum of Seventies, according to Rockwood's journal. He was part of the 2nd company of ten, led by Ezra Taft Benson. Thomas Bullock recorded that Barnabas was one of the fifty men called to be part of the Night Guard.

Barnabas also traveled in the Willard Richards 1848 company with his wife, Julia, and daughter Julia Thankful. He served in the company as a Captain of the Second Fifty.

His birth date and death date are confirmed by Utah death records. His obituary claims that he died of a sudden pain in his chest.

GRANDMOTHER OF MAUDE ADAMS DIES

Mrs. Julia Anne Banker Adams Passes Away at the Age of Ninety.

Mrs, Julia Ann Banker Adams, grandmother of Maude Adams, the actress, died at 7:15 last evening at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Asenath Annie Adams Kiskadden, in the Smith apartments, 234 South Third East Street, at the age of 90 years. Death came as a result of advanced age.

Mrs. Julia Ann Banker Adams was born in Plattsburg, New York May 6, 1826. In 1845 she accompanied by her parents to Illinois and lived in Nauvoo. A year later she married Barnaby Lathrop Adams a close friend of Brigham Young and later associated with him in the pioneer days in Salt Lake. He was with one of the first parties to come to Salt Lake. After a few months here, however, he returned to Nauvoo for his bride.

With the exception of a few years spent on her ranch in Rigby, Idaho, and a visit to her granddaughter, Maude Adams, in New York in 1898, Mrs. Adams has resided here continuously.

Mrs Adams is survived by three daughters Mrs. Kiskadden. Mr. Charles Crouch, the wife of the Rev. Mr Crouch of Missoula, Montana, and Mrs Julia Quayle, of Salt Lake. There are three surviving sons, D. H. Adams of Rigby Idaho;, H. D. and Joshua Adams of Salmon City, Idaho. There are in addition fifteen grandchildren, one of whom is Miss Maude Adams.

Mrs. Adams has been in feeble health for several years. She has been almost constantly under the care of a physician

Maude Adams opened last night in "Peter Pan" in New York. The news of her grandmother's death was kept from her until after the performance. An effort will be made to have the Rev. Charles Crouch, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church in Missoula, preach the funeral sermon Although arrangements have not been definely made, the funeral will probably be held Friday.

Notes:

?i?Facts about Joshua Adams?/i?
Joshua Adams moved with parents and dependents of expired siblings moved from Rutland, Vermont, USA to Bastard, Leeds County, Ontario, Canada in 1798.
Joshua married wife Elizabeth Chipman, daughter of Barnabas Lathrop Chipman, on 15 March 1803 in Elizabeth Township. Elizabeth Chipman's family had moved to Bastard, Ontario from Salsbury, Vermont in 1795, shortly prior to the Adams family arriving in the area. Elizabeth Chipman Adams was a direct descendent of Mayflower Pilgrim John Howland.
During the War of 1812, Joshua was commissioned as a Captain and served as Adjuvant to the Leeds Militia under Colonel Stone. Joshua was given 800 acres of land for his service to the Crown. During the War, he had moved his family from Bastard to Stone Mills (now Delta). They returned to Bastard at the end of the War in 1815.
In 1817, the family moved to Perth, Lanark County where they lived for three years. Next, they moved to an area long the River Tay in which a village arose called Adamsville. This name was eventually changed to Glen Tay. Joshua and Elizabeth lived there for the remainder of their lives.
Despite no formal education, Joshua was able to attain a number of avlued positions in the community such as Justice of the Peace, Township Councillor, Warden of the County and periodically, he also acted as an Associate Judge. Joshua also remained quite active in the Methodist Church having served as a Trustee and Steward.
Elizabeth Chipman died on 29 Feb 1856 at age 70 after an illness of three weeks duration. Joshua Adams died on 23 April 1863 after a fall in the home of his son-in-law, Henry Moorhouse. His last words to his family were, "All is well. I am going home." The couple had 13 children.

?/i?These are excerpts regarding the family of Capt Joshua Adams from Pioneer History of the County of Lanark (Ontario, Canada) by JS McGill, 1979. I thank Mark Johnson for his look-up. If there are copyright issues, please contact me and I will remove the post.
P21:
Captain Joshua Adams who was one of the first to draw a town lot of one acre in Perth, in 1820 fell heir to the mills of Parsall who had died. (Abraham Parsall, a Loyalist, settled along the Tay River on Lot 20, Concession 4 of Bathurst and here erected grist and saw mills.) Adams then moved from Perth and established further enterprises on the Tay, the result of which was the village of Adamsville (now Glen Tay).

PP46-47:
In December 1817 a Methodist minister from the Rideau circuit, one Brown, arrived to look the military settlement over. He held his services in Joshua Adam's house. Mr. Bell wryly commented in his Journals that he was told by one present that "in his prayer, he [Brown] fervently gave God thanks that through his agency the gospel had at length had been brought to the settlement."

The fervor of the Methodists evidently found a responsive note in Joshua Adams who supported them faithfully after this initial visit; his son Ava later became a Methodist preacher, and his eldest daughter Beulah married the Methodist circuit-rider John Carroll. Alex Richey, writing to the Perth Courier in 1911, recalled the Adams family with affection:

The first time I remember the Adams was when I went to school in 1833....They were all very kind to me, just a new boy from Lanark Village. The Captain boarded most of his men, and he had a number of them too, in the sawmill, flour mill, oat mill, carding and fulling mill; men working on the farm and teamsters hauling lumber to town. The oldest son was a Methodist minister, Rev. Ava Adams, who afterwards had mills in the Fall River. Asa and Bernard the next two oldest sons, went in in 1844. The oldest daughter, Beulah, married Rev. John Carroll. Elizabeth married Henry Moorehouse, a useful citizen of your good town for many years, Lucinda married a son of Barbara Heck. The youngest daughter married Rev. Armstrong. Daniel and Franklyn worked in one of the mills and Joshua became a lawyer in Perth.

The Captain and his wife were the living embodiment of charity and goodwill. There were a number of Indians about the headwaters of the Tay River at that time. They went down to the Lake of Two Mountains every spring to sell their furs. In the fall they returned to their various hunting grounds. They passed our place with seven or eight canoes one fall, loaded with their families and goods, a Union Jack at the bow and stern of each canoe....When the Indians got as far as the Captain's he was on the watch for them for they most always had a white child picked up in some way or given to them by some unfortunate mother. The Captain saved several and brought them up to be cared for as one of the family. The Captain, I believe, was of the same family that gave two presidents to the United States, John Adams, second president, and John Quincy Adams, his son, sixth president. The Captain died about 1856 or 1857. He was one of nature's noble men.

P50:
On the 21st of June 1819 the Duke of Richmond, accompanied by his two sons, three daughters, and attendants, set out from Quebec City aboard a steamer to visit the new military settlements at Richmond and Perth. Colonel Cockburn, one of the party, hurried on ahead from Sorel where the Duke's party remained for some days. It was his intention to investigate the activities of Daverne at Perth before the Duke arrived. When he reached Perth he appointed Joshua Adams, Dr. Thom, Captains McMillan and Taylor, and Mr. Bell to form a Court of Inquiry.

It was soon discovered that Daverne had embezzled the government stores to a large amount.

P54:
In 1820-21 the only licensed innkeepers from the Perth Military settlement were: Joshua Adams, Angus Cameron, Wellesley Ritchie, John Adamson, John Balderson, Joseph Legary, and William Blair.

The funeral started from his residence in Adamsville, where his remains had been removed, and was joined at the late residence of Captain Leslie (?), by the volunteer companies of Perth, and a large number of citizens, ranking one of the largest funeral processions of Perth. The volunteers took the lead in the procession, Captain Fraser's Company reversing arms, and the whole proceeded to the Wesleyan Burying Grounds, where after the funeral service was read by the Rev.

The deceased Captain was a gentleman very much respected and esteemed by all who knew him and especially by the poorer classes whom he materially assisted as far as he was able, in the hard times some years ago. He died at the advanced age of 84 years.

Occupation:
Militia posted to Gananoque to protect convoys. It was the last stop for allied ships moving up the St Lawrence to Kingston.
1st campaign, 12 Sep 1812, American force attacked from Cape Vincent, laning at Sherriff's Point near Gananoque. Two militiamen spoted the Americans and one was shot when they attempted to reach Gananoque to warn the residents. The untrained militia men were unsuccessful in repelling the Americans, resulting in the Raid of Gananoque. Mrs. Stone, wife of the Colonel, was wounded and the Stone house raided. Tehy were forced to give up the government stores (arms, ammunition and food) and watch while it burned. The American raid lasted 30 minutes before they returned to Sacketts Harbour.
The next task for the militia was to build a blockhouse to ward off future attacks.

Land & Property:
"procured a farm lot on the river Tay, about three miles and a half (3?) west of the town, which included a very valueable mill site, where he erected mills and made other improvements, a little village springing up aroud, long known as Adamsville, but now bearing the name of Glen Tay."
This site was originally granted to Abraham Parsall and it is believed that he had already established a sawmill and gristmill on this property.
It appears that the Ritchie family may have operated this mill for a period of time in addition to the 'Ritchie Mill' a few miles further up the river. Others operated the mill on behalf of the mill owners in later years.

Census:
c1 L2, 4 acres, 2 ? under cultivation; ? acre under crops in 1851; 2 acres under pasture in 1851; 1 ? under wood or wild.

Census:
Stone house, widower, farmer

Religion:
For a time in early life, he was an Exhorter.

?i?Obituary of Joshua Adams
?/i?We have to record the death of Captain J. Adams, who expired on Thursday the 23 inst., at the house of his son-in-law, H. Moorhouse, Esq., Perth, from the effects of an accident mentioned in a former issue. The Funeral started from his residence at Adamsville, where his remains had been removed, and was joined at the late residence of Capt. Leslie, by the Volunteer Companies of Perth, and a large number of the citizens, making one of the largest Funeral Processions ever in Perth. The Volunteers took the lead in the procession, the firing party, Capt. Fraser's Company. Reversing arms, the whole proceeded to the Wesleyan burying grounds, where after the Funeral service was read by Rev. Mr. Russ, three volleys were fired in honour of his memory by the firing party.

The deceased Captain was a gentleman very much respected and estemed by al who knew him and especially by the poorer classes whom he materially assisted, as far as he was able, in the hard times some years ago. He died at the advanced age of 84 years.
?i?
Joshua Adams, his son writes of his father's death:?/i?
On the 17th of March 1863, he drove to the town of Perth with his horse and cutter (accompanied by his grandson Joshua Adams, known as Joshua Fourth), and going into the house of his son-in-law, Henry Moorhouse, Esquire, he slipped on the oilcloth covering the hall floor and broke his leg between the knee and the thigh. The fracture was immediately adjusted by the Drs. Nichol, father and son, by whom he was most assiduously attended. On the 2nd of April, it was thought the healing process had commenced, but his strength had failed so much, that he gradually sank, and expired at Perth on the 3rd(sic) 26th Apr 1863. His last utterance to his sorrowing children and friends surrounding his couch, before his exit, was 'All is well; I am going home.' This accords with the confidences of all his intimate acquaintances. Thus after 'serving his generation by the will of God, he fell on sleep.'

Buried:
Cemetery also known as Old Methodist Burying Ground, Drummond Township, Lanark County, Canada

Joshua married Elizabeth "Betsy" Chipman on 15 Mar 1803 in Elizabethtown Twp, Leeds County, Ontario, Canada. Elizabeth (daughter of Barnabas Lothrop Chipman and Beulah Evarts) was born on 2 Feb 1786 in Salisbury, Addison County, Vermont, United States; died on 29 Feb 1856 in Glen Tay, (Adamsville), Bathurst Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Saint Paul's United Church Cemetery, 1 Robinson St, Perth, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
