Bruce Campbell Adamson Family History.
Bruce Adamson is related to a bunch of Monkeys see Photograph a Swinging Family Reunion. In 1935 my father Douglas sailed around the world on the ship The Joseph Conrad whose captain was Allan Villiers. Looking for possible children and/or grandchildren that would be cousins from Bali ! Bruce Campbell Adamson - Books, P.O. Box 3511, Santa Cruz, CA, 95063 Since 1983 I have taken an interest in researching my families
background. I have been written up in many articles and have
conducted national syndicated radio shows. Many people have Royal
DNA, but they just don't know their lineage. I have been working
on my f ADAMSO NOT JEANS, BUT GENES! WHICH MEANS THAT CNN'S ANDERSON COOPER IS ALSO A KISSAM and A COUSIN! Photo to left is Cornelius Vanderbilt -- all of his descendants with Vanderbilt surname are Kissam's. CLICK HERE FOR Anderson Cooper. CLICK HERE FOR VANDERBILT FAMILY TREE. Page 1 Cornelius CLICK
HERE FOR VANDERBILT FAMILY TREE. page 2 William Henry Vanderbilt
and Maria Louisa Kissam. CLICK HERE FOR KISSAM FAMILY TREE Bruce Adamson has Gloria Vanderbilt genes. Not jeans, but genes. His great grandmother Lillian Easton Kissam was the third cousin to Maria Louisa Kissam also known as Mrs. William Henry Vanderbilt. My 3rd great grandfather, Jonas Butler Kissam, a trustee of the Astor Estate was a second cousin to Maria Louisa Vanderbilt aka Mrs. Wm. H. Vanderbilt. Her husband William H. Vanderbilt was the only male progenitor of Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt. All Vanderbilts today descended from Cornelius are also Kissam's.
Most of the discoveries that I have learned of are on my mothers' side of the family. I have literally traced them all the way back to hundreds, even thousands, of biblical figures! All ancestors mentioned on this website are direct descendants, unless otherwise stated. Robert the Bruce is not a direct descendant on my mothers side of the family, we both are descended from St. Margaret, Queen of Scotland. Bruce's sister did married Neil Campbell, and there is a possibility that on my fathers side that I am decended to Neil Campbell. Sometimes Hollywood tarnishes names of historic figures such as Robert the Bruce just as they have done with Captain Bly in the movie Muntiny on the Bounty. The ones under American President's are cousins. For those who are patriotic this person has traced his American roots to many historical shakers. Since 1983 Adamson has collected family photographs from relatives all over the United States more than 2700 of them. Adamson is shown in the fore going link as a kid, his mother's, mother is descended from Charlemagne, etc, CLICK HERE FOR EARLY ADAMSON PHOTOS AND RELATIVES. Would also like to pay tribute to our Spanish side of the family the Conquistadors Mendias family. Another interesting story
was that one of Adamson's great grandmothers was giving birth
to a daughter when she died. The young girl was raised in the
home of John Carroll, as her brother. In reality it was her cousin
and Carroll would become the first Archbishop of the Catholic
Church in the United States. Carroll was a cousin to Charles
Carroll who was one of the signers of the U.S Constitution, in
fact the last living signer. Charles Carroll was the first person
to build a passenger and frieght railroad The Baltimore &
Ohio railroad at the age of 92. The Carrolls are also descen I would like to assure the
reader, that I am an average person. Just because I have documented
my lineage, please do not assume that I consider myself above
average, I am only human. Let me try to give you an example of
what I have gotten out of the stories which you to could shar CLICK HERE FOR Charles White Whittlesey's biography. Photo below is C.W. Whittlesey. Colo
Photos are Judge Samuel Boldrick as boy; Marie Shelton with my mother Nancy Kissam Ely. And a photo of Boldrick's estate in Louisville on Second Street. Judge Samuel Boldrick was a very prominent judge in Louisville, Kentucky. Father of Mary Phillips Boldrick. Mary was named after Marie Shelton's maid of honor at her wedding to Judge Boldrick. Was it a relative? We do not know. Have other photographs of family. Mary's mother was from Nashville another hot spot during the Civil War. This week I learned where my sister obtained her name "Marie" and it was from our great grandmother Marie Shelton. Some of the interesting connections is that Marie Shelton's brother was Lawrence Shelton and her uncles were Dr. thomas McDermott and Edward McDermott a Lt. Gov. of the state of Kentucky during the Civil War. Her father Lucius Shelton fought for the Confederates during the Civil War. In the 1910 census the family lives at 1914 South Second St.
in Louisivlle.

amily lineage since 1982-83.
N HAS GLORIA VANDERBILT GENES'
ded from George
Calvert, First Lord Baltimore.
e. What has been really enjoyable are the stories!
They are countless. One example is that a great grandfather was
killed at the third worst battle of the American Revolution,
The Wyoming Valley Massacre in Pennsylvania. Knowing that the
battle would take place on the following day, Colonel Whittlesey
grabbed his daughter Abigail and placed her on a raft with Abby's
nurse sending her down the Susquehanna River. After leading his
own men into a heated battle against a force three times his
own, his daughter Abigail Whittlesey was on her way and arrived
safely in Virginia. After the battle the Mohawk Indians in collaboration
with the British Butler's Rangers killed more than 200 women
and children. Making it the worst battle of the American Revolution
when you count the women and children.
Painting above is of Abigail Whittlesey in the center and her
two sisters all married brothers with the surname of Camp. George
Sidney Camp, the famous author of the 1800s was decended from
the Camp's and was the uncle of George W. Ely, Secretary of the
New York Stock Exchange 1873-1919..
nel Whittlesey's father was the progenitor
of Charles White Whittlesey who gained World Wide fame when he
lead The Lost Battalion on the German front. Had not Colonel
Whittlesey acted as he did, I would not enjoy the precious gift
called Life! In December of 2001 A & E ran a two hour special
on Charles White Whittlesey's command. Whittlesey received the
Congressional Medal of Honor. Captain George W. Ely, II who fought
in the same war as Whittlesey was turned down for the Congressional
Medal of Honor although two soldiers under his command and instructed
by Ely, did receive the Congressional Medal of Honor. They felt
that since Ely was a Sargeant it was his duty to lead his men.
Ely was gassed and did received the Silver Star medal and Defensive
