Z. T. ADAMS, farmer, Temple, Carroll Co., Ga., son of Absolom and Elizabeth 
(Reid) Adams, was born in Carroll county in 1845. His grandparents, Adams, were 
Virginian and moved thence to Tennessee, whence they subsequently came to 
Carroll county, where they died. -- Mr. Adams' father came from Tennessee to 
Georgia and settled in Carroll county in 1829, where he cleared a farm. He was 
a soldier in the Indian war of 1838. His great-grandfather on his mother's 
side, Reid, was a soldier in the war of 1812, during which he was shot in the 
stomach, the ball passing through the body. A silk handkerchief was drawn 
through the orifice afterward, and he recovered and lived many years. 
(TRANSCRIBERS NOTE:  This same incident is repeated in the biography for Mr. 
Moses J. Baxter as having happened to Mr. Baxter.(??)
