Larry, The History of Marlboro lists Jonathan Adams, who came from Ireland prior to the Revolutionary War and was of Scotch-Irish descent. He married a Miss Mary............and lived not far from the "burnt factory" a few miles above Bennettsville. He fought the Revol. War as a Wig and after the struggle ended and when within two days march of home, sickened and died. He left three sons, William, Shockley and John and one daughter, Divinity. It goes on to mention the families of the sons but nothing further on the daughter. (pages 271-172) The Cemetery Records reflect: Adams-Moore Cemetery Shcokley Adams, who departed this life on Oct 3, 1824; age 43 m. Mrs. Isabella Admas, died Mar 1, 1872, age 91 years son: Col. William L. Adams, died Apr 1864; age 64 years John Adams, died May 3, 1840; age 63 years w. Celia Adams, died Feb 2, 1853 Jonathon Adams, 1740; 1783, Patriot and gallant solider in the Revolution; married Mary Robeson, born 1740; 1763 Children of htis union: Sons: William 1764-1855 John 1777-1840 Shockley 1781-1824 Daughter: Divinity Adams William S. Adams, s. Jonathan and Mary, 1764; 1855, was a Revolutionary Hero at the age of 10, when he refused to give information of hidden treasure to the Tories... There is not actual gravesite of Divinity the this cemetery and I beleive the dates for Mary Robeson are incorrect in that it shows her dying before any of their children are borne - this is probably to typo error in the book. There's another Adams cemetery near the above one across the road from Frank Adams Home place and all of the markers there are for either Adams or McGregor. The first cemetery lists Tatum, Bethea, Moore and Davis. Barb ---------- > From: Larry H.
