34. ADAM⁶ CARAWAY (HENRY⁵, MARGARET⁴ KEELING, ELIZABETH³ LOVETT, LANCASTER², LANCASTER¹) was born Bet. 1770 - 1774 in ,Wayne, North Carolina, USA, and died Abt. 1846 in ,Franklin, Mississippi, USA. He married SARAH (ANN) ALFORD, daughter of WILLIAM ALFORD and SARAH BLACKMAN. She died October 31, 1851.

Notes for ADAM CARAWAY:
One source has his date of birth listed as 1774. Information regarding Adam has not been substantiated with legitimate research. As to date, the only facts regarding Adam are the ones from Marie Taylor of Temple, Texas who has the actual paper work to prove her research . Outside of his name, birth date, death date and birth place, the other information is from sources not backed by research.

From Car(r)away Family News quarterly, Vol 2, #2, p. 15 article "Henry (5) Carraway and Family", researched, compiled and written by Mildred Morrison.

"Adam Carraway was under the age of 21 when his father, Henry Carraway, died in 1784. In his will, Henry left to his son, Adam, all of his land and tenements on the w/sd of Carraway Creek in the event that Adam arrived at the age of 21. On Feb 28, 1800, Adam sold land i n Wayne Cty, NC to Joseph Everitt, such land being located on s/sd of Neuse River and w/sd of Carraway Creek.. This deed was signed Adam Carraway. On April 15, 1810, Adam and his wife Sally, sold a parcel of land to James Rhodes that they fell heir to by the death of said Sally Carraway's father, William Alford, Esq. The deed was signed Nov 16, 1801 and Adam signed his name Am Carraway.

Shortly after this date, Adam and his wife, Sally, left Wayne Cty, and went to TN, where Adam Carraway, Jr. was born. Possibly other children may have been born there. I have not been able to locate the county in TN where Adam, Jr. was born or where the family lived. Perhaps they had no home as such as they were living in Franklin Cty, MS by 1809-1811.

Adam Carraway owned a number of lots in the town of Meadville, MS. By oral conversation with Richard White Carraway, my father, it was his understanding that his gg grandfather owned and operated a cotton gin in the town of Meadville and that his g grandfather, Adam Caraway, Jr. worked at that gin when he was a small boy. Due to the burning of the courthouse in Meadville, MS it is difficult to get a true picture of legal actions of Adam Carraway, Sr. He did leave a will, but due to the burning of the Courthouse, I was unable to find a copy of it.

On the second Monday in May 1846, the will was proved and admitted to record in Franklin County Court and Sarah Carraway, Executrix renounced her trust and on the second Monday in June 1846, the Court granted and committed unto William D. Coleman the administrator of the estate of Adam Carraway, Sr. Adam died about 1846 and his wife Sarah Carraway died Oct 31, 1851. Adam, Jr. was granted full power to administer and pay debts.

The children of Adam (6) and Sarah (Sally) Alford is from Carraway Family News Quarterly Vol 2, #2 pp 15, 17, 18, 19 "Henry (5) Caraway and Family" by Mildred Morrison and page 19, Bryant (7) A. Carraway and p 20, Adam (7) Carraway, Jr. submitted by Pauline Davis.
