He established the flat boat ferry on the Tombigbee River in 1797 -- this ferry was the only crossing between Fort Stoddert and Fort Mims.

Owned a large tract of land on Cut Off Island, and the land stayed in the family for a very long time.

From "Early Washington County", by Robert V. Haynes:: " In June 18-- Sargeant announced his patronage decisions. As justices of the county courts he named James Fair, John Johnson, John Chastang, John Caller, Joseph Thompson, and Flood McGrew; he selected John Pierce to be county coroner; David Mims, treasurer; Samuel McCarkle; prothonotary to the Court of Common Pleas, clerk to the Court of General Quarter Sessions, and County Recorder; and James Fair, judge of probate. To the coveted post of sheriff, Wilson Carman was appointed as a reward for loyal servies. The officers of the county militia were Adam Hollenger and Joseph Stiggins, captains; Flood McGrew and William Pierce, lieutenants and Daniel Johnson and John Lindar, ensigns." Note: the Sargeant was Governor Sargeant.

About 1797 Adam and some of his friends took Jacob Townshen prisoner and killed him. Read Benjamin Hawkins' account.
