Chinese Canton porcelain believed to have been owned used by John Q Adams

My wife has some beautiful Canton procelain. We thought it was Flow Blue but a prominent appraisal house in Dallas told us there was not a market for Canton. I am looking for someone who can give us a prfessional opinion of value.
I will post a picture of all the itmes on a table and a few individual pieces in hopes someone will take a look at it.

Hello,
From the only closeup of the decoration in these images it seems that you have Chinoiserie. "Chinoiserie" is European or western made porcelain copying Chinese motifs and/or styles.
This definetely is not Chinese, only the decoration looks that way. A closeup inspection would be required to make sure whether it is handpainted. Some of the later Chinoiserie was transfer printed.

I cannot tell you about value as it is relative to many factors. Please see "Value of Antiques" in the left side menu.

What you have is the so-called Willow Pattern. It shows a lake, island with pavillon, a boat, and willows (here highly stylized).
If you do a Google Image search you will find lots of willow pattern porcelain for comparison.

There is a website for willow pattern collectors somewhere. You should be able to find it via Google. They might be able to help you identify what you have, exactly.
