Adam Stephen (c. 1718 – 16 July 1791) was a Scottish-born American doctor and military officer who helped found what became Martinsburg, West Virginia. He emigrated to North America, where he served in the Province of Virginia's militia under George Washington during the French and Indian War. He served under Washington again in the American Revolutionary War, rising to lead a division of the Continental Army. After a friendly fire incident during the Battle of Germantown, Stephen was cashiered out of the army, but continued as a prominent citizen of western Virginia, including terms in the Virginia General Assembly representing Berkeley County.

  • Adam Stephen (* 1718 in Rhynie, Aberdeenshire; † 16. Juli 1791 in Martinsburg, West Virginia) war ein schottischer Arzt und Offizier. Nachdem er sich in den Dreizehn Kolonien niederließ, diente er dort unter George Washington sowohl während des Siebenjährigen Krieges in der Kolonialmiliz von Virginia, als auch während des Unabhängigkeitskrieges in der Kontinentalarmee, wo er zuletzt eine Division kommandierte. Als es 1777 bei der Schlacht von Germantown zu einem von ihm verschuldeten Friendly Fire kam, da er zu jenem Zeitpunkt betrunken war, wurde er als Folge davon degradiert und unehrenhaft aus der Armee entlassen. 1778 gründete er dann die Stadt Martinsburg (West Virginia).
