Civil War Band Of Brothers - The Adcocks of Coalfield Made an Extreme Sacrifice
By Terry Futrell

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS COPYRIGHT MATERIAL AND I DO NOT OWN THE COPYRIGHT

Three Adcock brothers from Coalfield (then called Ruffners [Switch] ) provide an excellent example of the sacrifices made by many Morgan County families during the Civil War. Along with many men from Roane County, Archibald, James, and Pleasant Adcock made the harsh trip from Ruffners to Flat Lick, Kentucky in early February of 1862 to join the Union Army. The three brothers traveled through the mountains and Confederate lines to enlist in Company H of the 3rd Regiment East Tennessee Infantry Volunteers on February 10, 1862.

A few months after enlisting, all three brothers were captured by Confederates at the battle of London, Kentucky on August 17, 1862. Ironically, they were captured by Colonel J. S. Scott

Archibald married Rebecca Holland. Rebecca was born on 17 Jun 1801; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

According to a variety of historical records, Thomas A. Adcock settledin Morgan County in 1818. He and wife, Elizabeth both migrated to TN from NC, although census records indicate their son, Archibald, was born in SC. Thomas was a Revolutionary War veteran. Source unknown.
*************
Thomas Adcock was born in Queen's Anna County, Maryland, in 1761. He enlisted in the Revolutionary War in 1778 in Anson Co., North Carolina. He came to Morgan Co., Tennessee in the late 1790s or early 1800. He signed up for Revolutionary War pension in 1818 or 1820. He had at home his wife, Elizabeth, and daughter, Betsy Adcock.
He got a land grant and came to Tennessee. His grant was for 600 acres. We have tried to find where this 600 acres are located without any success. He died in Morgan Co., on May 20, 1839. We also found on the records in Morgan Co., in april 1824, where Archibald Adcock was appointed to serve on jury. In July 1825, Abraham Adcock presented a wolf's scalp and Morris Adcock was appointed to oversee a road being built. In the 1930 census, Tyra Adcock was listed. We have tried to find out just how Thomas, Abraham, Morris, and Tyra Adcock were related to Archibald, to no avail. SOURCE: researchers who published a hand-typed genealogy report on the Adcocks. Names and dates are unknown.
*******************



Pvt. Thomas Adcock was awarded a land grant of 640 acres in 1796 by the state of North Carolina. He registered the land grant October 31, 1816, in the state of Tennessee. Documentation of these two events are attached to his record.


In the 1790 Census, Thomas Adcock is in Richmond County, North Carolina. He has a total of 4 individuals in his household (2 children). In 1810 and 1820 he is living in Anson, North Carolina. (Note, he registered his land grant in Tennessee in 1816.) Supporting documentation is attached.

In 1810, Thomas Adcock is the only person in the household over 25 with one female being between 16 and 25. (This could be Betsy or could be his wife.) He has three children under 10 for a total of 5 in the household.

In 1820, Thomas Adcock lived in Clark, Anson Co., North Carolina. One of his sons is no longer in the home as he now has only 1 son between the ages of 10 to 15. He has 2 females in the household under 10, so a new child was added. An adult female in the household is now between 26 and 44 years of age.
