From "A History of Chester, Illinois: 1829-1979", p 133, it gives that Launcey Adams, son of David, was one of the foremost agriculturists of Randolph County. The farm was located in the vicinity of the Randolph County Lake. Launcey Adams was married to Mary Elizabeth Livesy, daughter of Charles and Minerva (Smith) Livesy. Charles Livesy was one of the builders of the Covered Bridge.
