Hi Donna and Valerie: It has been a while since I have been in this message board...I just saw your posting from last spring and hope you still are logging in. Looks like you did piece the family to Jamaica...after seeing this I am even more convinced that we are related. Here is how I think it goes:
My ggrandmother was Blanch O Adolphus (b1873 or 1876) She is buried in Miami, Florida. She moved down there from PA to be with her son (my grandfather) Andrew. Blanche's mother was Margaret L. (Finlow) Adolphus who was married to James Adolphus from Jamaica. Her mom's family was from NJ. The 1880 Census states that my ggrandmother had two siblings (James and Mary older). It sounds like you both come from the line of James? My Dad is in town and mentioned that he had an Uncle (would be a great uncle) that was once the mayor of Avalon, NJ and I think that is from the Finlow line. I face the same disadvantage as you...not knowing anything much about the Adolphus family. I just know that my Dad's side has nobility, which I believe comes from the Adolphus line. I have tried to find out things about the Jamaica connections for years and hit dead ends! Please drop me an email if you should get this message! Bren
