General Notes: Husband - Joseph Adams

---

Two different accounts of this man's ancestry can be found in the literature. It is not know which, if either(!), is correct. Both are given.

The dates put forward by the source leave some questions. All children are listed as the offspring of Lydia, but some birth dates are before their marriage, perhaps some were offspring of the other wife.
