Facts and Events
From another researcher:
Born about 1795 according to the 1850, 1860, and 1870 censuses of Bedford County when he was listed with a wife named Sally (born c1797 in NC). According to the Shofner book, which provided no evidence, this wife was Sarah Mitchell (1797?1884), buried with him in the Shofner Chapel, whom Adam married about 1819.[19] However, a marriage bond in Orange County, North Carolina shows the marriage of Adam Anthony to Sally Sharp on 24 April 1819.[20] Adam appears to have stayed in North Carolina through the 1820 Orange County census, and then moved to Tennessee. He first appears in Bedford County in the 1830 census. Adam died in Bedford County, Tennessee in 1878. There are several records of the settlement of his estate that identify his children.[21] Both he and Sarah are buried in the Shofner Lutheran Chapel graveyard there.
