Personal Information    |    Sources    |    Event Map    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name James Adams 
    Birth Abt 1630  Scotland Find all individuals with events at this location  [5] 
    • I've seen some other sources gives his birth as late as 1630, which is more believable. TCN has abt 1620. Website "Scottish Soldiers 1650" (http://scottishsoldiers.x10host.com/survivors.html) says he may have been born in Carlisle (Cumbria), England and migrated north to Scotland. Also, that the town of Carlisle, Massachusetts may be named in honor of his place of birth.

    • After the battle, tens of thousands of Scots were taken to Durham Castle and then sent to London, England for trial. Many of the Scots did not survive the conditions at Durham Castle nor the march to London. Some found guilty were sent to the Lynn Ironworks in Lynn, Massachusetts as an indentured servant with John Bex(Beax) and Company for an 8 year term. The Iron Works is now largely referred to as the Saugus Iron Works and is presently located in Saugus, Massachusetts. Historically it was also referred to as the Iron Works at Hammersmith.
