Texas Society Sons of the American Revolution web page.

The Captain John M. McAdams Chapter #27 was chartered on March 12, 1972, is located in Huntsville, Texas, and is named because many of the chapter members are descendents of patriot Captain John M. McAdams.  John McAdams was born in Ireland in 1757 and first settled as a farmer in South Carolina.  He was a Captain under Major Williamson during the American Revolution.

The organizing president was Kelly Edgar McAdams who founded the chapter in 1973.  He has been honored with an SAR memorial marker at his grave site located in the McAdams Cemetery in Walker County.
