• Notes

  ADDAMS, Isaac, Esq., a distinguished and greatly esteemed resident of this city, died last Wednesday in his 63rd year. (4-18-1809ed.) Obituaries Published in the Readinger Adler, 1800-1815 Isaac Addams (47265491) Suggested edit: His father, of Scottish background, had laid out and sold the plots of land that were to become Adamstown (originally Addamsburg) in 1761. In 1773 is father left him 100 acres in Adamstown where he'd been living at death plus 73 acres in a plot adjacent to it. From 1777 through 1786 Isaac had six sons there, who show up on the 1790 Census for Cocalico Township. In 1776 Isaac Addams was appointed captain in command of a militia unit raised in Cocalico Township, which was dissolved in 1777 upon the term of enlistment having elapsed. This company was in a battalion assigned to the "Flying Camp" program, which is to say they were to be sent out of state (unlike normal militia) and were to be under the ultimate command of George Washington. Addams' brother-in-law William Witman was a private in that company, but when it was dissolved he was promoted to lieutenant and given a command of his own in the regular Continental army, and some of the former members of Addams' militia company then joined Witman's company.
