I've done more research on this and it is as I thought, the boat which George Adams and family (along with his brother Edward and his wife) sailed to the USA from Bristol ladened with people from Monmouth. Passengers weren't all heading for the same destination though. But, the areas where George's family settled seems to have had more people from England, Wales and Ireland there than from anywhere else living there by the turn of the last century!
