Sgt in Co. E 37th NC and surrendered at Appomatix. He died before Oct.1891.. The exact location of his burial is something of a guess. The 1880 census gives him a Beaver Dam area residence, yet his grandson Lloyd Hilliard, whose father farmed near Sweetwater, is said to have walked over, as a boy each day to visit him. This suggests he lived somewhere in the area to the east of the Beaverdam road. Beaverdam or Cove Creek Cemeteries might be closer places for interment. Possibly buried in an unmarked grave in either the same cemetery where his father and brother were buried, or the Adams (John) Cemetery where his grandfather was originally buried, before his remains were removed to near Boone. [The very factor of these cemeteries apparently being somewhat, if not neglected, at least isolated, fits his place of burial being so quickly forgotten.]

His wife was Martha (Williams) Adams, (1830-abt.1878), daughter of William
Anderson Williams and Leanna Willis.
