Jo Kope wrote to me:
My grandmother's father built houses. My grandmother told me he was not an educated man. He could not read or write but someone could show him what kind of house they wanted and he could tell them how many bricks it would take to build the house just by looking.
He was in the Civil War and when he came home he told stories of how he would go down to the Officers tent and get in and take pies and cakes and hide them under his clothes and take them back to the other soldiers who were starving and had almost nothing to eat. He would just go in and start talking to them and get them to laughing and talking, they would be playing cards or such and then he would make another trip and get more,

John Lawrence McAdoo recalls:
Sam Moore McAdoo Sr. told us that his family came to farm outside of Hope when he was 12 years old. They travelled in a covered wagon from Tennessee.
[Married in 1859, so this could be ~1872 to Arkansas?]

The 34th Miss. was originally known as the 37th. Many of its men were from Tippah and Marshall Counties. It was immediately sent to Corinth and fought its first battle at Farmington, Tenn. May 9, 1862 as Gen. Grant advanced from Pittsburg Landing towards Corinth. It then moved with Gen. Bragg's army to Chattanooga and marched into Kentucy where it engaged in the battle of Perryville on Oct. 8, 1862. After this battle Co. K had only 7 men left available for duty, one of which was John Ellis Hicks. Bragg then retreated back to east Tenn. and moved in Nov. to Shelbyville, Tenn. On Dec. 27 they moved to Murfreesboro and fought in the battle of Murfreesboro on Dec. 31 and New Year's day, 1863. The 34th was in the thick of the battle at Chickamauga Sept. 18 - 20, 1863. From here they moved to Lookout Mountain and fought in that battle on Nov. 24th. They wintered at Dalton, Ga. and fought in the battles for Atlanta. Their beloved leader, Col. Benton, was injuried on July 22 and lost his right leg. He was commissioned Brig. Gen. on July 26th and died a couple of days later. When Benton county was split from Tippah in 1870 it was named for Gen. Benton. From Ga. they followed Gen. Hood into Tenn. and took part in the battles of Franklin and Nashville. Hoods wrecked army crossed the Tenn. River on Dec. 26, 1864 and moved to the vicinity of Tupelo, Miss. for winter quarters. The brigade was furloughed until Feb. 12, 1865 and assembled at Meridian under orders to the Carolinas. They started east on Feb. the 18th and were detained some time at Montgomery, Al. by the Mobile campaign. In March they preceeded to Augusta, Ga. and on to N.C. On April 3rd the aggregate present of the brigade was 283. On April 9, 1865, the 24th, 27th, 29th and 34th Miss. Regiments were consolidated in the 24th Regiment, Col. R. W. Williamson commanding brigade of Gen. W. F. Brantley, in D.H. Hill's Division of S.D. Lee's Corps. The army was surrendered April 26, 1865 and paroled at Greensboro, N.C. soon afterwards.

"The Story of the Jephthah Clark Clements Family" notes:
The McAdoos were cousins of the William Gibbs McAdoos
Now, cousin means a lot of things, but should mean they share a grandfather or GGF.
