Andrew was son of Phillip Adams and Mary Tolley - was Phillip related to Spencer?
Land records in Jackson County indicate that land was transferred back and forth between Catherine and Spencer Adams several times. This and the fact that it appears that the George Adams living with her in 1850 was his son, leads to the assumption that she was his mother-in-law.
