~ Edit 05/32/2022 : It is unclear if Charles Adams is the father of Silas Adams. Silas is NOT named in the Will, or Probate, records of Charles Adams. There is a William H. Adams, aged 60-70 in the 1840 De Kalb County, Alabama, Census that is a potential candidate to be the father of Silas. The same can be said for the James Adams that had land on the French Broad River.

Some records show that John Hightower, (Transferred from James Adams) might have been issued 300 acres of land in Buncombe County, located "Lying on a Branch of Richmond Creek to a Branch entering into French Broad River", but no matching Patent was found. More research is required to determine if a Patent was actually issued. The original request for this land was entered on 20 Oct 1792 and assigned Buncombe County Entry # 217.

Some records show that Charles Adams might have been issued 200 acres of land in Buncombe County, located "Lying on Robert Browns Mill Creek beginning at a chestnuttree near the head of a steep hollow", but no matching Patent was found. More research is required to determine if a Patent was actually issued. The original request for this land was entered on 04 Apr 1820 and assigned Buncombe County Entry # 1024.

As of 10 September 1831, it appears that Charles Adams of Buncombe County, North Carolina was an absconding debtor. Isaac Brock granted land to Jonathan Siniard. James Siniard had a claim against Charles Adams. Thus, Charles Adams was most certainly associated with the kin of Silas Adams' wife's family. Although he may not be the father, the chances are good that he was of some kin to Silas. ~

Charles Adams was born about 1790 in South Carolina.

He married Susannah Thomas in 1808 in Greenville District, South Carolina.

In November of 1814, he volunteered in Greenville, Tennessee and served as a Private in The War Of 1812.

He served from November 6th 1814 to March 12th of 1815 in Captain B. D. Garrison's South Carolina Militia.

He applied for land that he was eligible for and received 80 acres in 1855.

It is believed that he eventually owned 160 acres.

In January of 1824 in Buncombe County, North Carolina, Charles Adams was convicted of Assault and Battery, fined 20, and ordered confined until his debt was paid.

As of 10 September 1831, it appears that Charles Adams of Buncombe County, North Carolina was an absconding debtor. Isaac Brock granted land to Jonathan Siniard. James Siniard had a claim against Charles Adams.

He appears in at the age of 80, along with his wife, Susan, in the 1870 Census.

His wife filed for a survivor's pension of $8 on September 27th of 1872.
