Henderson Adams

Henderson Adams was a state senator who also served as Auditor of North Carolina from 1868 until 1873.[1] Serving during the Reconstruction era, he was a Republican.

He was a peace and convention advocate who was also reputed to have been a possible founder of the Heroes of America group.[2][3]

An act of the U.S. Congress relieved Adams of "disabilities" resulting from his role in serving the Confederacy during the American Civil War.[4] He was elected to the state senate from Davidson County, North Carolina, in 1862.[5]
