I am looking for the Old Adams Cemetery
in Atlas, Illinois. My Children's' great-grandmother was a
descendent of Jeremiah Adams. I would like to visit this site in
October. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.

As far as I know, the Adams cemetery is
in Pike County. It's on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River.
This is a quote from an old Newspaper," Atlas, near the southern
edge of Pike County is 42 miles south of Quincy, Illinois by
concrete and gravel road. It is approximately 3 miles south of
Rockport, it's post office." I don't have the date of this
newspaper. It was here that Nancy Ross, the first white child in
Pike County, was born".
Thanks for answering my E-mail.
