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..
