Issac Newton Adcock, son of Henry and Elizabeth Adcock, was born about 1837 in Davidson County Tennessee. In the 1860 Census, He was living with his parents. There are no records of ever being married.
Other than previously written family histories, there is no record of his death. Family tradition is that he died during the War Between the States. The story is that after an 1863 battle (or skirmish) in Georgia, he sat on a log and fell over dead. Because of wool uniforms and battle stress, this is very plausible. An assumption would be that he would have been buried in an unmarked grave where he fell. No official records of his military service have been found. This is not unusual, as many records (especially Confederate) were lost or destroyed. Because he never married, no Widow's Pension claim would have been filed.
To further complicate matters, there was a Newton Adcock, of DeKalb County Tennessee, who served in the Confederate Army. He died as a Prisoner of War at Camp Douglas, Illinois. And, an Issac Adcock, also of DeKalb County, who served in the Confederacy, and survived the War.
