James Uriah was the son of James Adams and Sylvia Poythress Goodwyn, and the grandson of [[Joel Adams]]. He graduated from [[Yale University]] in 1831, and married Sarah Hopkins Adams and had twelve children. He served in the [[South Carolina House of Representatives]] in 1864, but with the end of the [[American Civil War|Civil War]] in 1865, and federal forces occupying South Carolina, it was ordered that the existing Legislature be disbanded and new elections be held. Adams therefore lost his seat in the House of Representatives. |
