Adam Milam
of Dinwiddie County, Virginia & Warren County, North Carolina

The consensus of opinion is that Adam is the oldest son of John Milam of Halifax County, Virginia.  This may be true, but I am a little skeptical of it.  He is fairly old to be John's son and he names his children differently from virtually all other Milams.  Two sons are named Rowland and Drury.  There are no known records connecting him and John.  Placing all his records here may enable greater insight to him.
