re: Duel[edit]

In all the research I conducted on Adams, references to his death used such phrases as 'being shot by…', 'being encountered in the street by…'during an argument in the street by'… (etc.) newspaper editor, John Martin; I could find no reference to a 'duel' having been fought. That is why I deleted the Category: Dueling fatalities from his Article. -- Michael David 22:23, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
