80. ADAMS-There is a Colonel AoaLlS on the list of Revolutionary officers in the Charleston Year Book for 1893. But there is nothing to prove that this was John Carroll Adams. The latter was cer- tainly a Revolutionary soldier, however. and his name with his record of service may probably be obtained from the Com missioner of Pensions, or the Record and Pension Office Washington, D. c. He was a Revolutionary soldier, be- cause his name is given in a Government publications: American State Papers. Claims" Vol. XIX. page 403. This states that on the 14th of July, 1794, John Carel (CarroiD Adams, received a certificate for $122 IA, money still due him for Rev olutionary services. He was first a pri vate and then a corporal in South Car | olina Regiment.
 Revolutionary soldiers were generally given positions of honor in the militia | after the war, and 1t is probable that | John Carroll Adams obtained the title of Captain in that way. It is also pos | sible that he may have been captain of volunteer, partisan company and so not enrolled on the regular list of continental soldiers except when he served in a reg. l ular company.
 He was certainly a soldier and his de- | scendants can join the D. A. R. Society upon the proof given above. S20. TERRY-Col.
