Daniel Adams was born in Medway, Norfolk, Maryland on 20 Apr 1750 to Thomas Adams and Mary Partridge. He is my Great 4 Grandfather. He died in Rutland, Maryland on 17 Dec 1832.
Daniel served as a Private in the Maryland Malitia during the Revolutionary War.
Daniel married Martha Watkins and had four children. Their youngest child, Aaron (1794-1838), married Susannah Walker. Their daughter, Susannah (Susie) Walker Adams married John Stark Collins and moved to Crawford County, Indiana.
John and Susie’s daughter, Susannah, married Amos Worley Carmichael, the son of Thomas Carmichael, my Great 2 Gandfather on my mother’s side of my family and my Great 3 Grandfather on my father’s side of the family. Thomas and his brother William moved to Brown County, Indiana from Belmont County, Ohio in 1849. Thomas founded the town of Christiansburg in Brown County, Indiana in 1850.
Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
