JOHN ADAMS—There is no man in Sonoma County better or more widely known, particularly in agricultural and horticultural circles, than John Adams of Santa Rosa. A sketch of his life is of more than passing interest in a history of the county to which he has devoted the best part of his life in building up; briefly stated it is as follows: Mr. Adams was born in Jackson County, Missouri,July 31, 1827. His father, Lynchburg Adams, was born in Lynchburg, Virginia, and emigrated to Missouri in 1818. His mother is a native of Missouri, and was born at Boone’s Fort in Boone County. Mr. Adams is descended from the pioneer element of the great \Vest. He was reared in pioneer settlements and early in life was inured to the hardships and practical labors of pioneer farming and stock-raising. He was engaged in farm labor upon his father’s farm until 1850. May 10 of that year, he started for California. He joined Michael T. McClellan and Worked his passage across the plains by driving an ox team. After months of toil and hardship, unavoidable upon such a journey, he arrived at Sacramento, October 1 of that year. There he was taken with the cholera, suffering from an illness that lasted until midwinter. In the fall of 1853, he went to Shasta and engaged for a short time in mining. Afterward, he proceeded to Rush Creek, when he followed the same occupation until August of the same year.
