Ira was the product of an affair his father, Ira Wilson Adams Sr., had with Vernon Reed while they both worked at the DuPont plant in Old Hickory, TN. Ira was raised by his aunt after his mother decided to move away and neither of them ever saw or heard from Ira Sr. again. Ira's true parentage remained a complete mystery until after his death when genealogy work on both sides of the family converged and the truth was finally discovered.

Ira married Alice Ruth Griffin and had three children. He was the grandfather of two when he died.
