He married (1) Anna Elizabeth H. "Tip" Pate Aug 7, 1859 in Dyer Co., TN, daughter of Andrew Pate and Martha Thurmond. She was born Dec 3, 1840 in Dyer Co., TN, and died Oct 6, 1881 in prob. Illinois Twp., Washington Co., AR. They had seven children: John Wesley Adams, Richard Washington Adams, Jennie C.

Richard was a farmer, "worked on the railroads", a contractor, possibly a miner, and a day laborer in the 1900 Census for Coalgate, Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory just before his death.
He was honest about his debts and showed initiative and courage to move west, seeking a better life.
