In May of 1892, Adoram was living in Mosa Twsp, as he appears as the witness to the signing of two documents between his parents and his younger brother, Charles, on a piece of property at Lot 24, Concession 15 in Orford Twsp.
At the time of the 1901 Census, Adoram & Harriett, lived at Part of Lots 28 & 29, in the first concession south of the Longwood Road, in Mosa Twsp, Middlesex County, Ontario. This area was part of the reminants of the Town of Cashmere.
They had a 10 room home and 17 acres of land. His next younger brother, Joseph, lived with them as well as his mother-in-law, Harriett Eastman. She was widowed.
Adoram, at one time owned the Dam and a grist mill which he finally sold in 1907 to Bruce Helmer of Bothwell for sixty dollars to help build a barn. Adoram & Harriett were actually the last residents of the town. He had lived there from the time he was 9 years of age until he sold in 1910, 53 years, with the exception of 7 years, from 1871 to 1878, when they lived in Detroit then back to Highgate in Orford Twsp, Kent Co.
