He went with his parents to Clark County, Ohio prior to 1812. In 1821, his family removed to Madison County, Indiana, settling in Fall Creek Township, where later it became a part of Adams Township.

Following the death of his first wife, Adam married Mrs. Mary Morris, widow of Joshua Morris, with four sons. By 1855, Adam had moved his family, including the Morris boys, to Mercer County, Missouri.
