R. C. ADAMS, farmer, P. O. Georgetown, was born in Scott County, Ky., to
Jerry and Patsey (Scott) Adams, Nov. 25, 1818.  He was of Scotch descent;
born in Maryland, July 27, 1764, where he learned the trade of a carpenter;
he emigrated to Kentucky in about 1780; during his life worked at his trade
and also followed the occupation of farming; he died in 1852.  She was of
Irish descent, born in Harrison County, Sept. 25, 1783, and died in 1874;
she was the mother of twelve children, R. C. Adams being the eighth child
and seventh son.  He received his education from the common schools of
Scott County, at the age of twenty-three left home with only two dollars
and fifty cents in his pocket; with that he made his start in life.  He
commenced by trading in stock in New Orleans--making three trips a year,
and continuing the same for six years; in 1849 he settled down at farming
in Scott County, at which he still continues upon his handsome farm of
150 acres of well improved land, most of the improvements having been
made by himself.  In 1849 he was married to Miss Mary J. Moore, who was
born in Scott County and died in May 1879, aged fifty-one years.  Mr.
Adams has four children: Sarah, Alice, married and living in Lexington;
Eliza and Bunnie C., at home; Medine, who died in 1861.  Mr. Adams is a
man of good habits and has the esteem of all who know him.  He is a member
of the A.F. & A.M., and with his family unites with the Christian Church.
In politics he was an old Line Whig, but now is identified with the
Democratic party.
