      Here is where I stand with this man. I have much more on his
      descendants.

      There is reason to wonder if Luther and his family were Quakers, then
      changed over to Latter Day Saints, and then changed to Reorganized
      Church of Latter Day Saints.

      There also seems to be some connection with the Abraham Adams family
      who lived next door to them in 1850. Anybody know?
