Adam, a farmer, purchased from Wiley Dillow, 80 acres of land on Sep 1, 1853, described as the N1/2 NW1/4 SEC13 TWP 13S R1W. This land was along and generally west of Route 51, some 2 miles north of Dongola. Before his death, Adam added 40 more acres, the NW1/4 NE1/4 SEC13 TWP 13S R1W, and had a 3/5 interest in 80 acres, N1/2 NE1/2 SEC14.

On Aug. 14, 1862, Adam enlisted at Camp Anna for service into the U.S. Civil War. He enrolled into Co. I, 109th IL. Infantry, and was transfered in Nov of 1863 to 140th Co., First Battalion, Invalid Corps, and finally to the 64th Regt. of the Veterans Reserves, upon discharge at Rock Island, IL. Adam had considerable health problems while in the service. He was ill at Milliken's Bend, LA. on Apr 23 1863. His transfers came about chiefly because of what doctors called "feebleness of constitution." Adam was home on furlough from Feb to May of 1864, because of poor health. Again, he was sick at Cairo on Feb 28, 1865. Still, after the war, Adam never applied for a pension.

After his service in the Civil War in 1865, Adam was made guardian of Thomas J. Dillow, Calvin Jenkins Dillow, Warren A. Dillow and Cicero Augustus Dillow, sons of Susannah's brother, John Dillow Jr. who died on Mar 13 1865 as a result of service in the Civil War. Susannah had earlier been placed under the guargianship of John Peeler, following the death of her father in 1845.
