THE McADOO FAMILY AND THEIR CONNECTIONS
BY VICTOR CLAY McADOO

Dr. Caruthers, speaking of the Scotch, says: "Combing the intelligence, orthodoxy and piety of the Scotch with the order and love of liberty peculiar to the Irish, they were the most efficient supporters of the American cause during the struggle for independence; and they have done more for the support of learning, morality and religion than any other class of people"

Along with the first settlers of that noble race in this County came James and John McADOO, and a little later, their sister, Nellie. They came via Charleston, S.C., and were prompted to leave home because their father, William, had married a second time, against their wishes. Upon their arrival in this section they took up large grants of land near Alamance Church, and settled there and reared large families. Nellie McADOO married John Ryan and among her children was William Ryan, who took a prominent part in the battles of Raft's Swamp and Wetzel's Mill, and represented GUILFORD COUNTY in the Legislature of 1816-1817-1818. Dr. Caruthers speaks of him as " one of our most upright and estimable citizens." Nellie McADOO Ryan died at the age of 105 years, and is buried at Buffalo Church.

John McADOO was granted, in 1759, 640 acres near Alamance Church, and he and his wife, Ellen Nelson McADOO, had among their children, David McADOO, Samuel McADOO, John, William and James McADOO. Samuel McADOO, a son of John and Ellen Nelson McADOO, was born in GUILFORD COUNTY, April 10, 1760, and educated at Mecklenburg College, and married Henrietta Wheatly. He moved with his brother-in-law, John Larkins, and James McAdoo's wife and children to Dickson County, Tennessee, where John Larkins had been granted, with his brother Hugh, two thousand acres of land by NORTH CAROLINA for their conspicuous services during the Revolutionary War. Samuel McADOO bacame a minister of great distinction, and was one of the founders of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, which was organized by him and associates at his house in Dickson County, in 1810. He died in Illinois, March 24, 1844, leaving two sons and two daughters.

James McADOO married Margaret Houston, and their children were Mary, Sarah, Dorcas and Martha, John, William, David and Ezra. James McADOO died in 1800, and his wife, with her children, moved to Dickson County, Tennessee. Mary McADOO married James Larkins, Sarah married Houston, and Dorcas married Nesbitt.

John McADOO married Hannah McNeiley, and was a trustee of Dickson County for fourteen years. His brother, David, was sheriff of the county for six years. Among their children were John, Hugh and James McADOO. James now lives at Waverly, Tenn., and is the oldest elder in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church there, and one of the largest farmers in that county.

John M. McAdoo is the Judge of the County Court at Waverly, Tennessee, was a captain in the late war, and several times represented his county in the Legislature, and is now ruling elder in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
