Publishing Co., 1976), vol. 1, p. 9, Family History Library, 35 N. West Temple Street, Salt Lake City, UT, 974.69/

Abraham Adams, son of Edward, born at Fairfield, 9 Sep 1650. Died 9 Aug 1729 in 80th year; "a worthy
founder and liberal benefactor to Trinity Church" (gravestone). He was baptized at Fairfield Church, 9 Dec 1694;
his daughters Deborah and Hannah were baptized 20 Jan 1694/5; Mary, Abigail, Susanna, and Elizabeth, 24 Feb
1694/5. He married Martha ..., who married (2) ... Miller. It is not certain that she was mother of the children (Mr.
Clarence A. Torrey, of Dorchester, MA, rightly draws our attention to the fact that she must have been a second
wife because in the agreement of heirs she was to receive two beds she "brought with her"; and suggests from
circumstantial evidence that the mother of the Adams children may have been Sarah Lockwood.)
Agreement made 10 Sep 1729 between widow Martha, and children Deborah Bennet of Ridgefield, Daniel
Morehouse and wife Hannah of Fairfield, Joseph Marshall and wife Mary of Horseneck, Fairfield County, John
Whitlock and wife Abigail, John Winton and wife Susanna, and Benjamin Gilbert and wife Elizabeth, all of
Fairfield, regarding Estate of their father Lt. Abraham Adams.
Children (by first wife):

4) Abigail, married John Whitlock.
