Another Adams who owned a hotel is mentioned in Bass River Township in the New Jersey Courier of December 30th, 1868. It describes him thusly: "Frank Adams keeps a small but comfortable hotel, dispenses whiskey, Ayer's medicines, post office, and sausage meat with a liberal hand, and keep a nice little home for strangers.". Thanks to Wynn for this new bit of information: Franklin Adam's uncle was the original owner of " The old Bass River Hotel". His name was Isaiah Adams, son of David and Hope (Rockhill) Adams. He Married Mary Ann Mathis, daughter of Daniel Mathis. Franklin's parents were Moses and Charlotte (Myers) Adams. Moses and Isaiah are the children of David Adams and Hope Rockhill. David is the son of Charles Adams and Hannah Jenkins. Charles is the son of Hezekiah Adams. Franklin's children are: Charles E., Jesse, Henry, Irick. This information came from the History of Little Egg Harbor Township and the Leek Family Bible.
