PVT John R. Adams

PVT John R. Adams (aka James R. Adams) was born 2 Jul 1842. We aren't sure when he enlisted but he was captured near Halltown, Virginia (now West Virginia) on 25 Sep 1864 while his unit was in the area. He may have changed units but was at one time a soldier in the 5th Virginia Infantry Regiment. He was taken to Camp Chase, Ohio where he died of disease on 15 Jun 1865. PVT Adams is buried in the Camp Chase Cemetery in Columbus, Ohio.
