"Jared Adams was born in Edwardsville in Salem township on 25 December 1825, the son of Thomas Adams (1790-1854) & Clarinda Haight (1788-?). On 1 May 1853 he married Hannah Jackson (1833-1912) in Warren County. In the 1860 census he and Hannah are living in Blanchester with his son Pierce Adams (1855-1924) and daughter Eva Adams (1857-1894). Another daughter Allie Adams (1861-1900) would be born in 1861. From the records I have been able to find, Jared Adams enlisted as a musician in Company G of the 6th Ohio Infantry on 20 Apr 1861. He was mustered out of that regiment on 21 Aug 1861. On 17 Aug 1861 he enlisted in Company F of the 34th Ohio Infantry Regiment as a Private and then on 2 Sep 1861 he was promoted to Full Fife Major. I have found no direct record showing a discharge from the 34th Ohio. In the 1890 Veterans Schedules of the Census, his widow Hannah in Blanchester indicates that Jared had enlisted 23 Aug 1861 as a musician in the 34th Ohio and had been discharged on 13 Sep 1862 and that he did not suffer from a disability (see attached). According to accounts I have found, the 34th Ohio fought severe engagements at Fayettesille and Charleston, (West) Virginia in Sep 1862 after which it was returned to garrison duty at Point Pleasant, (West) Virginia. Jared Adams died 14 Jun 1863 and is buried in Wesley Chapel Cemetery. Hannah Adams filed a pension application as a widow & as a guardian"
