Alabama - Mississippi - Louisiana

Alabama

The McAdams who migrated to Alabama came from Orange Co. N.C. and other families came
from South Carolina. Hugh and Samuel McAdams recieved land grants in northern Alabama and
were from the family line of Joseph McAdams of Marshall Co. Tenn., son of James McAdams
of Orange County, North Carolina.

Other Alabama familes from S.C. They were from the family lines of Thomas McAdams of
Orangeburg, SC, James McAdams of Pendleton Dist., SC, and Robert McAdams of Newberry,
S.C. Most moved there prompted by their military land grants from the War of 1812. The family
members of James McAdams of Abbeyville, SC arrived a little later. The family of John McAdams
who went to Walker Co., Texas was from Ireland. They were living in Steward Co., Tenn. before
moving to Alabama about 1822 or 1823..
