INTRODUOTIOX".
*' He who careth not from whence he came careth little whither he goeth."
Genealogy is a subject of peculiar interest to those only
of whom it treats, and is too often neglected even by those
of kindred blood. At first sight, nothing seems less attrac-
tive than a mere register of names and dates of past
generations personally unknown to us. But if we reflect
that each name here recorded is a memorial of a human
heart that once lived and loved, that had its joys and sor-
rows, its cares and burdens, its hopes and fears, conflicts
and achievements, opportunities of life improved or wasted,
it will illumine those generations with the light of a living
reality.
How important each of those dates to some circle of loving
and confiding human hearts !
When human life approaches the boundary between the
great w^orld of the seen and the far greater world of the
unseen, among the few aspirations which then cluster around
the soul is a strong desire that something may remain, some
simple memento that such an individual once lived.
To the living representatives of each family circle is com-
mitted the sacred trust of perpetuating its memories.
One of the best memorials of the " dear departed " is a genea-
logical history distributed among the families of the living,
which thus inspires them with a deeper interest in bequeath-
ing to future generations a connected and complete family
history.
8
4 INTRODUCTION.
The recognition of existing relationships also creates and
fosters a feeling of fraternal brotherhood among many who
knew not before that any kindred blood existed between
them, thus enlarging and purifying the circle of family feel-
ing. Many families have kept some kind of a record of births
and deaths; yet there is none in existence sufficiently definite
or extensive whereby many of the present generation can
know from which branch of this family they descended, or
who were their ancestral connections.
The object of this work is to make a correct record of one
of the numerous branches of the Adams family in America,
which dates back to 1685, and has already reached the seventh
and eighth generations. In this book the branches of this
family are so classified and arranged, that members may
easily ascertain who were their ancestors, and what their
connection to any other descendant.
It has been the endeavor of the compiler to give a correct
record of all the members of this family, as far as possible to
obtain the necessary data ; and it is believed that a very
tolerable degree of accuracy has been attained.
In some instances, a disagreement in dates has been found
to exist between the records of different individuals and
towns, and those upon monuments in cemeteries.
In the year 1752, the commencement of the year was
changed from March 25 to Jan. 1.
Public records made within twenty or thirty years of that
time often omit to state whether the date was old or new
style; consequently, dates occurring about that time may be
given a year earlier or later than they were in reality.
But although accuracy in dates is desirable, yet it is not
deemed so essential as a correct statement of naoaes, family
connection, generation, birthplace, residence, &c.
It has been found impossible to obtain the history of a few
branches of this family, although it has been carefully
sought.
INTRODUCTION. O
But, although the record is incomplete in some directions,
it may lead at some future period to a more perfect history
of all subdivisions of this family.
Letters of inquiry have very generally been responded to
promptly ; but in other cases no reply whatever has been
elicited.
The compiler is under obligations to many of the friends for
encouragement and substantial assistance; and all such will
please accept his thanks. Mr. Ward Adams of Waldoboro',
Me., and Mrs. Amanda Thompson of Union, Me. (not to mention
others), have furnished extensive returns. It is hoped that
a due amount of indulgence will be exercised on account of
any errors or omissions which may have occurred, when the
friends consider what has been accomplished, and the variety
of detail and dates here presented.
It has been the compiler's endeavor to serve all impartially ;
and the record is in accordance to the interest parties have
taken, and the extent of information they have furnished.
In the commencement of this genealogical research, the
publication of it in book-form was not anticipated, and minute
details were not at first sought.
The line of descent upon the female side has not in all
cases been followed out, particularly so in regard to the
second generation.
But little reference has been made to the private history
of individuals, as but little is known to the compiler; and
many of the incidents given are such as the friends have
furnished, though in some cases they have been condensed.
The coat of arms which is placed upon the title-page of this
book was obtained by Rev. James Adams ^ (son of James ^)
from an English gentleman who investigated the subject by
his request, and gave it as belonging to this family. A refer-
ence to it maybe found in an English work, entitled "Burke's
Peerage." It is given as a family memento, and a fine
specimen of English heraldry with a noble motto.

6 INTRODUCTION.
To the relatives and friends here recorded, this little volume
is now committed. As it shall better acquaint them with
their ancestors and kindred, so may it inspire them with
greater regard for parentage, and the perpetuation of family
memories among the living. With Cowper we may say, —
" My boast is not that I deduce my birth
From loins enthroned, and rulers of the earth ;
But higher far my proud pretensions rise, —
The son of parents passed into the skies."
Franklin, Mass., 1874.
G. A.
EXPLANATIONS.
The descendants are arranged by families in successive
generations, in the numerical order of descent; the line of
descent being given at the top of each page.
A general enumeration is made by figures placed at the
left of descendants' names j each being numbered in the order
of birth.
The individual number of parent is placed at the head of
their family record. By means of these numbers, connections
may be readily traced from one generation to another.
The names of persons whom members have married are
placed next under their own names, and marked m, at the
left of each name. Dates of births and deaths are placed to
the right of names, the latter always to the extreme right.
Birthplaces are often given in parenthesis upon the line
below the individual name.
The figures attached to a name denote the generation to
which the person belongs; thus, John ^ is the first generation,
John 2^ is the second; and so on.
Abbreviations used are as follows, —
6., born ; c?., died ; i>., deceased, date unknown; m., married ;
r., residence ; dau., daughter.
A family index is given at the end of the book.

GENEALOGY
OF
JOHN AMIS AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
John Adams, the ancestor of the families herein recorded,
was born in Crediton, Devonshire, Eng., in the year 1685.
The exact date he lauded in America is not known ; but
evidently it was soon after the year 1700, for he was married
in 1713. He was one of the first settlers in that part of
Wrentham which is now known as South Franklin. Being a
weaver by trade, he at first pursued that caUing, but subse-
quentl}^ purchased knd for a farm, and lived upon it during
the remainder of his life. It has been occupied by his
descendants ever since his decease, and is now the home of
Mr. Peter Adams. What remained of the old house was
demolished by '^ the great blow of 1815."
The circumstances of his departure from the mother-coun-
try early in life are illustrative of her tyranny, and of the
rising spirit of liberty among her sons. He was seized by a
''press-gang" (unknown to his friends), and forced to serve
as cabin-boy on board of a ship-of-war. When the ship came
into the port of Salem, the crew were given a brief furlough.
Here young Adams struck for liberty by refusing to return
to involuntary servitude.
The ship sailed on to Boston, where a reward was offered
for his capture and return ; they intending to shoot him at
the yard-arm. In his wanderings he came into the present
town of Medfield,and was there seized, mounted upon ahorse
9
10 GENEALOGY OF JOHN ADAMS
and started for Boston to be surrendered for the paltry reward.
But he managed to elude their grasp, and, after a hair-breadth
escape from recapture, found refuge in Wrentham, now
Franklin.
It was the culmination of the same spirit of resistance to
British oppression which afterwards led to the Declaration
of American Independence ; and it is not becoming in those
whose fathers rose in rebelHon to gain political freedom, to
asperse his name or memory for maintaining his right to per-
sonal liberty. The freedom which he thus achieved for him-
self, numbers of his descendants afterwards fought to gain for
their country. All honor to his memory for such an early'
vindication of his manhood! " Resistance to tyranny is obe-
dience to God."
A portion of an old letter from his brother Peter is still in
existence, and is copied as a matter of history, as well as
a reminiscence of " ye olden time."
London, April y^ 25th, 1730.
LovEiNG Brother, — This day I received a letter from our
Cousin Samuel Adams and the letter you sent them. I never
knew you was living till about 10 Days agoe and sent down
for your letter. I have been married in London this Twelfth
year and have seen many voyages to New England a late
years. About fourten years agoe I put your name in the
News at Boston to hear of you but not hearing of you
then, I gave you over for Dead. My name was allways in y^
news, I being Master of a vessel, so that if you had but
minded the news you might have thought of me. If this
comes to your hand I hope you will lett me hear from you.
Our Sister is Edward Mounie's widow of four Children.
Joseph is Dead many years agoe, and our Uncle Nath^^ and
Roger and Cousin James. There is liveing besides our sister
and 4 Children, Cousin Samuel and Seven Children, and Aunt
Adams and three [The rest of the p^ige is missing: the other
side is as follows] : — ;
A\D HIS DESCENDANTS. 11
If you should receive this letter, I would have you mind
the directions I have Wrote, and the first of your neighbours
that Goes to Boston give it to them and Desire them to goe to
the Coffee house and there are bags that belong to the Ships
that are coming to London, and it will come as safe as If you
bad brought it yourself If you should Goe to Boston your-
self I would have you call on my Landlady M'■^ Hannah
Demings at the South End.
The letter closes abruptly, with no signature. It is written
in a business-hand, and is presumed to be very good for those
days. It was apparently written upon a half sheet of foolscap ;
and the last quarter of it is gone. Peter afterward married Mrs.
Demings, and settled in Beaufort, N.C. The parental names
are not known, or whether they were living when he (John)
was forced to leave his native land.
Many interesting facts pertaining to his history, which
might have been gathered from living lips a few years ago,
are now lost.
A low stone marks the place of his burial in Franklin Ceme-
tery, bearing the following inscription : —
In Memory of 3Ir. John Adams,
who departed this life May y« 10^'\ 1754,
in y^ 69*^ year of his age.
The following is a copy of his Will : —

No other record of marriages in the family can be found ;
but it is known that two of the daughters were married to a
Howard and a Cook, but their names or residences are un-
known. All the others, but Elisabeth, lived in Franklin, then
Wrentham. John was known by the prefix of '^ Ensign,"
which appears upon his gravestone, and also upon the town
records, and was doubtless a military title. His house stood
a few rods west of the present railroad crossing on Union
Street.
His farm extended to the centre of the town, and embraced
the present Common, which he conveyed to the town for
ii
SECOND GENERATION. 15
church and public uses about the year 1788. AccorJmg to
town records, the consideration for the whole was about sev-
enty-five dollars of our present currency. He died at the
age of seventy-eight years. It is not known from what family
his wife originated, as their marriage does not appear upon
the Wrentham Town Records.
Peter succeeded to the ancestral estate. But little is
known of the personal characteristics of these brothers, ex-
cept that they were industrious, good citizens, and shared in
the public duties of the town. Peter lived to the age of
eighty years.
'Jhe Hon. Jabez Fisher, the husband of Mary Adams, was
extensively known, and highly respected. He represented
the town for many years in the General Court of Massachu-
setts, and held other public offices. Of her it was said by a
contemporary, that " she was worthy to be a queen." Theron
Metcalf, one of the revisers of the State Laws, and for many
years a judge of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, was a
grandson of Hannah Adams.
The Fisher and Metcalf descendants are numerous ; but
the task of tracing them for the present work has not been
undertaken.
" The patriarclis of the race have gone
To the repubhc of the dead :
Soon we shall follow, one by one,
Our bodies 'neath the turf be laid ;
But, horn in spirit, we shall rise.
To higher life beyond the skies."

Timothy had four children ; but their names and ages are
unknown. Doubtless they all died young, as his gravestone
bears his own name, " Jemima his wife, and four children."
He^died at the age of thirty-eight years. Thaddeus pur-
chased the lands comprising the present town farm, which he
cleared and improved, erected buildings, and made it his home
for life.
Being a blacksmith, he taught each of his sons the same
trade, and set them an example of honest industry. He lived
to the age of eighty-two years.
John formerly lived in Franklin, where all his children (ex-
cept the youngest) were born. He removed to Walpole, '
N.H., about 1800, and died there, aged eighty-eight years.
THIRD GENERATION. 17
Nathaniel was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and took
an active part in the battle of Bunker Hill.
The writer well remembers of hearing him relate some of
the incidents of the battle. Said he, " We were in an awful
condition to die ; for our hearts were full of malice. All we
thought of or cared for was to kill the cursed British.'^
He stated they took as good aim every time they fired as
they would to shoot a partridge.
He held a captain's commission either during or after the
war, and was known by the title of " Captain " ever after.
He was afterwards a trader, and for many years kept store,
and manufactured straw goods, at the corner near the ceme-
tery.
He removed to Providence, R.I. , about 1815, and died there
at the age of eighty-three, respected and beloved by all who
knew him.
William lived and died upon his father's estate. He was
noted for his ready wit and outspoken frankness. The recital
of a few anecdotes concerning him may not be inappropriate.
Upon one occasion, Dr. Emmons, being very indignant because
the choir sang some very quick music, accompanied with the
bass-viol or violin (which he abhorred, as connected with
dancing), after he had entered the church to conduct the
Sunday-afternoon services, left the church abruptly, and went
home.
The next morning, Mr. Adams called at the doctor's, early,
upon an errand, and was summoned to his study. Inquiring
the cause, the doctor said he wished to know how people felt
about his leaving them without any afternoon service. He
replied, he could not speak for others, but could tell him how
he felt, if he desired to know. Upon being assured that he
would like to hear his opinion, he said, " I thought you acted
like a d — d old fool, I did: well, I didy Notwithstanding his
bluntness, the doctor valued his opinions highly, and often
consulted him about his material interests.
2*
18 THIRD GENERATION.
During the last sickness of Mr. Adams, and only a few days
before his death, Dr. Emmons visited him, and, while there,
inquired of him if he had made his peace with God. At
once he replied, " God and I never had any trouble."
Deacon Blake once called upon him during the ravages of
the canker-worms upon his orchard. He remarked to the
deacon, that he never could see what the ^Ha^mal critters'^^ were
made for. ^' Oh," said the deacon, " they are God's army : he
sends them to perform his will." — " Then," said Mr. Adams,
" I'd thank him not to parade his army in my orchard."
Upon another occasion, a horse-thief was to be examined
before James Adams, Esq. Quite a crowd was present; and,
some little time having passed after the appointed hour, the
culprit expressed his wonder that the justice was so tardy.
Uncle Bill (as he was familiarly called) sang out in his sharp,
peculiar voice, " You needn't worry : your damnation don't
slumber."
Rachael Adams, who married Asa Fisher, lived near the
present railroad depot. The house was used subsequently
for a hotel, and was finally burned about 1867. She lived to
be seventy-two years old.

Jemima and Joel resided in Union, Me. Joel was one of
the first settlers in Stirlington district, having purchased land
there in the year 1777. According to Sibley's History of
Union, Me., Capt. Joel Adams was a Revolutionary soldier
between three and four years, and was paid off in Continental
money. In coming home through Hartford, he bought a pair
of buckskin breeches with it, paying fifty-seven dollars, and
three dollars of the same money for a dinner. His wedding
was the first in the town, and took place in 1781. The cere-

mony being over, and the company seated, the mother of the

work." — ^^ Why not ? " said he. " Why, you have not pro-
nounced them man and wife." With some confusion, he asked
them to rise again ; and the ceremony was satisfactorily con-
cluded. Peter was also a Revolutionary soldier. He was
stationed in Boston, and died of a fever. James lived upon
the homestead, and was highly esteemed both in public and
private life. He was deacon of the church, and justice of the
peace, for many years.

The children of Thaddeus (true to their ancestral nature)
were all married, and had children. Lucinda Gillmore lived
opposite the old schoolhouse on the Mount (so called). She
had but one child ; and her descent is now extinct. Abigail
Tha3^er lived in Wrentham, near Sheldonville. The family
removed, in 1822, to Hampden, Me. Thaddeus, jun., settled
in Brewer, Me., where he practised his trade, that of a black-
smith.
Timothy settled at first in Bucksport, but subsequently
removed to Hampden. He was a shipsmith, and bequeathed
that vocation to his surviving sons.
Alpheus was the " home boy," and undertook the care and
maintenance of his parents during life. By great energy
and perseverance, combined with a good trade, he managed
FOURTH GENERATION. 23
to payoff quite an encumbrance on the farm, support two fam-
ilies, rear six children, and emerge from it all free from debt.
In 1836 he sold the farm (then in a high state of cultivation)
to the town, and removed to Nashua, N.H., where his oldest
son then resided. After remaining there about ten years, he
returned to Franklin, and built him a house near the corner
of Pleasant and Main Streets.
At the age of sixty-six, he passed to the unseen life, of
quick consumption, lamented by a large circle of friends.
He was noted for industry, frugality, strict integrity, and
loyalty to his convictions of truth.
In religion he was ^' Orthodox," having been trained, from'
early life, under the teachings of Dr. Emmons.
The following extracts from an obituary notice of Mrs. A. P.
Adams, written by her favorite pastor (Rev. Mr. Pel ton), and^
printed in '^ The Congregationalist," are inserted as a faithful]
record of her history : —
*^ Died in Franklin, Mrs. Achsa P. Adams, of pleuro-
pneumonia. Another valuable life is closed. The four-
score years of this ^ elect lady' formed a life of more than
ordinary interest. Not behind any, perhaps, as a stirring,
prudent housewife, or faithful Christian mother, in consistent
devotion to truth and righteousness for fifty-eight years in
the church she was conspicuous. Her faith was that which
works by love. She was one of those who urged, and finally
established, the sabbath school, almost under the protest of Dr.
Emmons, more than fifty years ago. When the infirmities of
age prevented her presence in the public assembly, or deaf-
ness hindered such enjoyment, it was her delight to meet the
sisters at her room. She was among the foremost in active
benevolence, working with her own hands more than most for
the needy. After the death of her husband, sixteen years
feince, in the retirement of home with her children, she still
ondeavored to do what she could for others. There she might

be seen, now quietly tripping about the house and yard,
caring for the flowers about the door, or the plants in the
window ; now in her room, neat and tidy, with Bible, Watts,
religious books, and papers ; now with needles, patchwork, or
garments for the destitute, — a Dorcas truly, to the last.
There was no useless part of her long life."

The following biographical notice was published in '' The
Live Stock Journal," in March, 1872: —
ALPHEUS ALDRICH.
*'Tt is pleasant to review the life of a good man. Mr. Aldrich,
who has lately passed away at the ripe age of seventy years,
settled in the town of Collins, Erie County, N.Y., in 1841,
while yet mostly a wilderness. His history is peculiarly inter-
esting as showing the progress a man may make, who in
earnest devotes himself to farming even late in life. It
is often a mooted question whether farming pure and
simple brings its reward. Many suppose it compares very
unfavorably with thrift in trade. The pioneer who grapples
with heavy-timbered land would seem to have a difficult task

compared to the settler on the rich prairie, where, if he
simply plough and build, he may possess at once a farm with
all the advantages of long cultivation. Mr. Aldrich was a
machinist in the city of Boston till thirty-seven years old, and
had no acquaintance with farming till he moved upon his
wilderness farm. He had only money enough to buy out a
settler's claim on fifty acres with nothing paid upon the land.
Here at middle age, and penniless, he began a new and
untried enterprise and hewed his way to competence. Hav-
ing paid for his first fifty acres, he purchased more, and finally
cleared a hundred and fifty acres out of the wilderness ; and
one hundred acres were covered with small cradle-knolls, which
had to be ploughed and scraped into the hollows, so as to make
an even surface. This was a labor little less than the original
clearing. He reared and educated a family of four children.
At the time of his 'decease he owned two hundred and fifty
acres of land, with good improvements, and especially one of
tlie largest and best constructed barns in the town, with fifty
cows and other stock.
''He conducted all his farm operations with more than the
usual intelligence and prudence. He was not content to
follow old routitie where a better had been devised. For
many years he economized his winter fodder by the use of
the large power straw cutter, and mixing the different quali-
ties of fodder, so as to save all. He eagerly sought all
improved methods, and was a liberal patron of the agricul-
tural press. Yet, with all these indiscretions, he left a prop-
erty worth twenty thousand dollars. Dairying was his
speciality; and the product of his cows in butter, cheese, and
the pork made from the refuse milk or whey, brought all his
income.
'' How many country merchants can show a better result at
the end ? "

The following lines, written by Simeon P. Adams soon after
leaving the parental roof, are so expressive of sentiments
which will find a response in many hearts, that they are here
recorded for preservation, although incomplete, as the last
two verses cannot be given. No copy of the lines exists; and
these are given from memory : —
FIFTH GENERATION^. 39
" I love my old home : 'tis the place of my birth,
The spot in my memory most hallowed on earth ;
For there was I cradled and fondly caressed,
And tenderly reared on a kind mother's breast.
" I love my old home ; for the loved ones are there,
Who remember me oft in the still hour of prayer,
And, though crooked and wayward the path I have trod,
Plead for me the friendship and favor of God.
" I love my old home ; for it brings to ray heart
The charms of true friendship un mingled with art :
There are parents and brothers and sister to greet,
And kindred affections in all that I meet."

John Q. Adams was a soldier in the late war, and served
from August, 1862, to June, 1865. He was in the battle of
Drury Bluff, where his regiment (the Eighth Maine Volunteer
Infantry) lost ninety-six in killed^ wounded, and missing. He
was also present at the fighting near Bermuda Hundred,
Hatcher's Farms, and afterwards at Coal Harbor, where the
regiment lost heavily. At the Point of Rocks the regiment
took the enemy^s works, and captured fifty-four prisoners.
Through all these and other conflicts he was not wounded,
although balls passed through his clothes ; and he had many
narrow escapes. Besides suffering the inevitable hardships
of a soldier's life, he was several times sick and in the hospital,
but at last returned home in safety.
Israel S. Adams served the government as captain of
schooner " Dr. Rodgers," engaged in transporting forage, <fec.,
for the army. He sailed from Lincolnville in April, 1862,
for Fortress Monroe, and was ordered to Yorktown^ and was
present when McClellan took that place. He was at Fortress
Monroe when the famous battle occurred between the rebel
ram ''Merrimack" and the little '' Monitor." After McClellan's
retreat, while at Harrison's Landing with a fleet of some four
hundred vessels, the rebels opened fire from the opposite side
of the river with three batteries, doing much damage. The
maintop-mast of ^' The Dr. Rodgers " was shot oifj and the
vessel was hit in various places.

Charles R. Adams enlisted in the Thirty-third Regiment
Massachusetts Infantry, under Col. Maggi in May, 1862. It.
was under the call of Gov. Andrew for troops after the retreat
of Gen. Banks from Virginia. He served with the regiment
in Virginia until December, when his company was trans-
ferred to the Forty-first, under Col. Chickering. The regi-
ment embarked in January, 1863, in the Banks Expedition,
for Louisiana, where they arrived after a perilous sea-voyage,
and at once entered the campaign, following the rebels three
hundred miles into the interior, to Opelousas, La. Here the
regiment were mounted and equipped as the Third Massachu-
setts Cavalry.
After serving in the Nineteenth Army Corps at various
points in that section of the Union, the regiment was sent
North in June, 1864, and served in the memorable campaign
of Sheridan in the Valley of the Shenandoah, on his way to
join Gen. Grant. During the first battle, which was at Berry-
ville, near Winchester, Va., Sept. 19, young Adams was
killed. The officer in command of his company said of him,
" He was a good soldier, and fell with his face to the enemy,

Cyrus Wesley and Albert A. Adams enlisted in the Ninth
Regiment Maine Volunteers, in September, 1861. They pro-
ceeded at once with the regiment to Washington, and were
ordered to Annapolis, Md., where they embarked for Port
Royal, S.C. They were out in a terrible gale, in which the
whole fleet came near being lost. They were present at the
capture of Port Royal by Commodore Dupont, and were
stationed at Hilton Head until the last of January, when
they were ordered to Fernandina, Fla. In April, Wesley was
taken prisoner; suffered, in three prisons, of starvation and
sickness, until October, when he was exchanged, and taken
to Washington, D.C., where he died Oct. 31, 1862.
The details of his terrible experiences are too sickening for
recital. Albert remained with his regiment, fighting, and
enduring hardships. In January, 1863, they returned to
Hilton Head, and were ordered to take Morris Island, under
Gen. Strong.
Here they suffered every thing that mortals could, until
they re-enlisted, and were sent home for thirty days. Next
they were sent to Virginia, under Gen. Butler, and took part
'in the battle of Bermuda Hundreds. In May, 1864, they
embarked for West Point, and from there to White House,
where they joined the Eighteenth Army Corps, and marched
to Petersburg, sharing in its battles and exposures until the
close of the war. He was in twenty-eight battles and
skirmishes.

W. M. E. Adams entered the service of the United States
as a soldier soon after the first battle of Bull Run, and served
thirty-seven months in the Army of the Potomac, during the
years of 18G2, 1863,and 1864. For the first year and a half he
was in the ranks, but afterwards served as orderly to various
generals. During the whole time, he was always at the front,
and never in the hospital, being neither sick nor wounded ;
yet he sufiered, in common with his comrades, some of the
greatest perils and hardships of the war. One incident will
serve as an example r one day early in January, his company
(Company I, Massachusetts Eighteenth) forded a river, where
the water was nearly up to the arm-pits, with a swift current,
and the weather so cold, that the margin of the stream was
fringed with ice, and their clothes froze stiff immediately upon
their emerging from the water. They then marched a long
distance, recrossed the same stream by another ford, and
camped over night upon the frozen ground, without any fires,
or change of clothing. He was in numerous skirmishes, and
took part in the following battles : —
Hanover Court House, Seven Days Peninsula, Yorktown,
Second Bull Run, Antietam, Frederi(;ksburg, Chancellorsville,
Upperville, Emmetsburg, Gettysburg, Culpeper Court House,
Rappahannock Station, Bristol Station, Mine Run, Wilderness,
Laurel Hill, Spottsylvania Court House, Old Church, Coal
Harbor, North Anna, Petersburg. For all this important ser-
vice he only received one hundred dollars bounty in addition
to the regular pay. He was subsequently chosen captain of
a military company in Brattleborough, Vt.
George W. Adams enlisted as a soldier in the winter of
1864. He was in the battle of the Wilderness, and marched
beside Charles Wilson of Franklin, who was the first man
killed in Grant's campaign in Virginia. At the battle of
Laurel Hill he was sunstruck, but in a day or two got better,
and rejoined his regiment. But four days afterwards,, at the
battle of North Anna, he was again prostrated by sunstroke,
SIXTH GENERATION. 79
which paralyzed both legs. After long delay, he was sent to
Alexandria, and afterwards to Boston. After several months,
lie was discharged, but never fully recovered ; and it was
undoubtedly the cause of his death.

source of wonder and encouragement to his comrades."

John Q. Adams, 2d (who is a sea-captain), experienced a
very narrow escape from death by shipwreck in March and
April, 1872. The schooner "Ada Ames," Capt. Adams, sailed
from Eockland, Me., for Washington, D.C., laden with granite.
They were not heard from for forty-four days, when she re-
turned in safety. The schooner battled with a succession of
gales ; but, with good management, she withstood them,
though the crew would have abandoned her if an opportunity
had presented itself. The owners and underwriters of the
vessel and cargo had given them up as lost ; and the friends
of those on board abandoned all hope, except a possible one,
that the crew might have been rescued, and carried to some
distant port. Their safe arrival caused much rejoicing.
