GEORGE PRICE ADAMS (1840-1912)
George married Martha Eliza Brooks on July 9, 1860, in Louisa County, VA. Martha became pregnant and had their first child, a son, Charles, in May 1861, but he died in June 1861 at the age of one month of thrush. Martha probably lived with her father, James Thomas Brooks, while George was in the Army. James Thomas Brooks, the grandfather, reported the death.
George attended school until about the age of 10 and he went to a Free School which was ungraded where he worked through the different readers. He got a good education (for that time), he was very smart and in later years he taught school. He was never interested in educating his children, especially his daughters. His daughter Nannie had less than one year of schooling. George's wife, Martha, was less educated, but was very thrifty. She taught her daughters, Nannie and Kate, to unravel cloth so they could reuse the thread.
George enlisted as a Private in Company D, 44th Infantry Regiment of VA in the Confederate Army on June 8, 1861, at Isabel's (or Kent's) Store, Fluvanna County, VA, Jones Brigade (Ambles Grays), under Col. W.C. Scott of Powhatan at Kent's Store (Isabel Store) in Fluvanna County, VA. He is on the rolls July 15, 1861. The men drilled at Camp Lee and reinforced General Garnett at Rich Mt., WV.
This Company was mustered on August 30, 1861, at Camp Barton. George was paid on October 31, 1861, at Camp Johnson and paid again in December 1861 at Camp Johnson. He was then promoted to full Corporal on May 1, 1862, they were idle until battle of McDowell on May 12, 1862, and he was on the rolls May 15, 1862. This Company has not been inspected and mustered since May. They have been on the march and otherwise acline.
George Adams was wounded in the hip by a mini-ball, and it shattered the bone. They then joined St. Jackson's command and Army of N VA until Appomattox, 3rd Corp. June of 1862 at Camp near Gordonville (Gordonville is west of Louisa County, VA on the county line). He was confined on September 19, 1862, at Fort McHenry, MD. In October of 1862, this regiment was camped near Berryville, VA in Clark County. Most of last month they were camped near Bunkers Hall in Frederick County, VA. About the 19th, the regiment was ordered to march below Martinsburg and destroy the B and O Railroad; this was done in six or seven days. He was paroled to Aikens Landing, VA October 25, 1862. This is on the James River and was used as an exchange point for prisoners for only a few weeks in 1862. Before the exchange, point was to City Point. He arrived on October 25, 1862, at Aiken's Landing, VA for a prisoner exchange. George was hospitalized on October 31, 1862, at Richmond, VA. In November of 1862 in Spotsylvania County, they first camped in Jefferson County. About the 14th, the division including the 44th was ordered to the railroad below Front Royal through Manassas Gap to destroy the railroad as far as Piedmont Station. Then they returned to the old camp on the west side of the Shenandoah. The next day they moved to Strasburg at daybreak, marched to Mount Jackson, and rested on the banks of the Shenandoah, then to Madison Court House.
George apparently returned home in November 1862 and recuperated from wounds he received at Sharpsburg on September 17, 1862, and stayed home until October 1864 when he rejoined his regiment. It is said that he was wounded seven times during the Civil War. One time he was wounded and fell to his knees while carrying the flag. Then they returned to Bunkers Hall where they remained a few days then marched to Jefferson County. Capt. Joseph Shelton (December 5-7, 1862), Lt. John Graves, and second Lt. John S. Fowler were in charge of Company D. William Adams, George's brother and Thomas Lloyd his brother-in-law were also captured at this battle. All prisoner exchanges were stopped in May of 1863. Most Union troops did not return to service, but most all Confederate troops did. Parole meant not to fight. Exchange meant an even swap. I am not sure if this John Clough belongs to this family. He was captured again with Johnson's Division on May 12, 1864, at Spotsylvania Court House. George was transferred from Company D to the 44th Infantry on October 31, 1864.
Pension record: Captured and wounded at Antietam Sept 17, 1862, Sept 27, 1862, Confederate P.O.W. captured by Army of the Potomac. Forwarded from Frederick, MD to Baltimore, MD.

October 1864 in New Market, VA. December 1864 in Petersburg, VA.
He returned home April 1865 to Hanover County, VA, but returned sometime after 1870 to Louisa County where he lived near Fredericks Hall, VA raising corn and tobacco. In his later life, he was described as being short and stout. George's father, James M. Adams, was an overseer and George took up the same job. He was an overseer on a farm, but he never beat the slaves. He would take them to the shed and tell them to yell when he hit something else.
George Price Adams died 5/12/1912 (info from his death certificate), in Fredericks Hall, Louisa County, VA where he had lived for 42 years. He is reported to have died of a heart attack while carrying vegetables from his garden and he is buried at Bethpage Christian Cemetery in Frederick's Hall, Louisa County, VA.
