For Robert Adams, Sr.
2-Photograph of Robert Adams, Sr. [1769-1864] - husband of Rebecca Blackmore [1778-1853]. (This photograph has been misidentified as Thomas Kent, Sr. [1747/48-1835] in various genealogies, but that identification is impossible because photography was not invented until 1839, four years after Thomas Kent's death. The misidentification seems to have occurred among the Greene County Historical Society files after the Adams Collection was donated there and has been unintentionally repeated by researchers unaware of the error.) Reproduction, professional photograph, no photographer listed. The Robert Adams, Sr. Family Bible, original photographs of Robert Adams, Sr., as well as his wife, Rebecca (Blackmore) Adams, and original photographs of the Adams family home (later lived in by Sayers descendants) seem to have passed from Robert Adams, Sr. to his daughter Jane (Adams) Sayers’s eldest son, Henry Clay Sayers, Sr. [1840-1926], to his son Henry Clay Sayers, Jr. [1872-1945] to his daughter Wilma (Sayers) (Wisecarver) Milliken [1899-2005] who donated the Bible and photographs to the Greene County Historical Society (918 Rolling Meadows Road, P.O. Box 127; Waynesburg, Pennsylvania 15370). Helen (Denny) Howard, a third great-granddaughter of Robert & Rebecca (Blackmore) Adams, made photograph reproductions of the Robert Adams, Sr. Family Bible data pages as well as the photographs of Robert Adams, Sr. and Rebecca (Blackmore) Adams, while they were in the possession of Wilma (Sayers) (Wisecarver) Milliken. Helen’s photograph reproductions were inherited by Farley Toothman who donated them to the Cornerstone Genealogical Society (144 E. Greene St., PO Box 547; Waynesburg, Pennsylvania 15370). Shared with the Greene Connections: Greene County, Pennsylvania Photo Archives Project in 2007.
