Floyd B. and Bobby J. Adams

On this date the 24th of June in 1929, our father, Floyd Dees half brother, Bobby J. Adams was born in Oklahoma to parents Floyd Brazier (Papaw) Adams and Johnny Adams.

He was the first born of our Papaw Adams from his first marriage. Bobby grew up in Drumwright, Oklahoma with his mother Johnny, but kept in touch with his Louisiana siblings over the years.

It’s amazing how much our Papaw Adams and Uncle Bob look alike.

Located Bobby’s mother listed as Johnnie Adams on the 1930 United States Census. The census shows her birth year to be around 1909, birthplace for her as Oklahoma, and her father’s as Tennessee and mother’s as Arkansas. As listed on the census, Floyd, Johnnie and Bobbie shared their residence in Wewoka, Seminole, Oklahoma with Fred Adams.*(c)
