On 9 Oct 1799 when Jerusha was 20, she married Philander Adams. Born ca 1776 in Danbury, CT. Philander died in Cuyahoga Falls, Summit County, Ohio on 9 Aug 1837.

From the biography of Philander Adams’s grandson, Philander Osborn, “Philander Adams, was a commissioned officer in both the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. He was a business man of unusual ability and acquired a very comfortable fortune. A native of New York State, he settled in Randolph Township, Portage County, Ohio, where for many years he was the proprietor of a large farm.”

A query in the Old Northwest Genealogical Quarterly, 1898, page 101, states that Philander Adams was the son of Timothy Adams Jr (b. 9 Sep 1842 at Simsbury, CT). “Philander, b. 1776; m. Jerusah Washburn, and in 1811 settled in Portage (noew Middlebury), Summit Co., O., and was the first merchant there, with one Norton as parter; he d. at Cuyahoga Falls, Aug. 9, 1839.”

From Historical and Biographical Collection, by Charles C. Bronson of Tallmadge, volume 4, page 68. (No date, but apparently written in the 1880s. His manuscripts were transcribed starting with volume 1 in 1995 by Tobi Battista of the Tallmadage Historical Society.)

    PHILANDER ADAMS
    This man was born in Danbury Connecticut and emigrated to Addison County, Vermont and settled in the township of Whiting. Of his early life and date of birth, date of imigration and date of marriage I have not been able to obtain. He married Miss Jerusha Washburn, who was a native of that county, born about 1778. Mr. Adams came to Ohio in 1811 and stopt in Middlebury; liking the country he sent for his family to come to him and they came in 1812. He had provided a house east of Middlebury on the hill near the old cemetary. In 1816 Moses Bradford, being desirous of selling his farm, Mr. Adams bought it and as there was a log house on that part of the farm the west side of the road, Mr. Adams moved his family into itf which made him the next settler on Tract 14 as a resident.
    In 1817 or 1818 Zerah Warden, a native of Waterbury, Conn bought the land Mr. Adams owned on the east side of the road; and put a small frame for a house and covered it, but he left the farm in 1821, not being able to meet his payments, the farm went back to Mr. Adams. In 1822 he sold to Lucius W. and Abner D. Hitchcock, Lucius W. taking the east side and Abner D the west. Mr. Adams went to Randolph and lived several years. He died at the house of his daughter Polly, Mrs. Dewey of Cuyahoga Falls in 1837. Mrs. Adams united with the Cong Church in Tallmadge, by letter Sept. 13th, 1818 and she died of consumption Aug. 28th, 1820, aged 42 and both are buiried at the center of Tallmadge.
