I have not seen any more information on John and Margaret. The ancestors of John came from a number of sources. One source is Mercer Co KY on GenWeb. The Adams geneoligical data base index address is:

Other information on Wm, Sr, b. 1717/23 IRE is available. This is not my direct line but Wm, Sr, has been theorized to be a brother of my earliest known ancestor, James ADAMS b. ca 1740 IRE or PA.
