His gravestone states that he enlisted in the "South Carolina, 3rd Regiment" of the Revolutionary War on July 24, 1776.
Using this book by Celestine Sibley, we were able to determine the grave was behind the old ChadwickStore, through the barnyard, across a pasture fence and through the woods to an old graveyard where only his grave was marked with a marker that was legible. The rest of the graves were marked by red rocks at the head of the graves. Not knowing the exact location of the graveyard, Lisa went in one direction toward Little River and the compiler went in a diagonal direction from Chadwick's Store, through the barn and down a wooded hill. The path was obvious and, about a couple of hundred feetdown the hill, led to the right, up an incline where a wire fence was lying onthe ground, bearly visible. Stepping over the fence and continuing up a rise in a heavily wooded area, the compiler saw a small open area at the top of this hill where the sun shone through the thick top canopy of leaves onto the white marble stone, seemingly pointingit out to the compiler. Before proceeding, the compiler returned to the area of the Chadwick Store to finf Lisa and returned to the site of the graveyard on top of the rise. Lisa videotaped and the compiler took photos of the area and beautiful stone marking the grave of James Adams.On this stone is the name, James Adams, 3rd Reg't of South Carolina and a metal marker inset into the stone saying he was in the Revolutionary war, 1775. Thestone was set on a concrete base with the date 6-16-1930 scratched in the top,in front of the stone. Sewveral other graves had red stones marking where others had been buried, however, the only one with any writing was the stone monument placed on the grave of James Adams in 1930.
