• Notes

  "James Adams, the progenitor of the Adams of "The Fork", Richland County, South Carolina, came as an emigrant from England to Virginia prior to 1746. He married Agnes Walker, daughter of Henry Walker, and they had two sons. (After the death of James Adams, Agnes married a Culpepper and is said to have had two daughters by this marriage)." Lower Richland Planters, by Laura Jervey Hopkins. "The forefather of the branch of the Adams family of Richland County, South Carolina was an Englishman. Presuming that he was about twenty when he arrived and not over thirty when he married, his settlement in America may be approximately placed as being between the years 1736 and 1746. In or about the year 1746 he married the daughter of Henry Walker of Virginia, her maiden name being: Agnes Walker." " A History of the Adams Family of the Fork compiled by James H. Adams, 1905, and by him given to Mrs. Carolina LeConte." dated 1905, and on file in the Caroliniana Library, USC."
