Notes
Individual:
Adams, Abraham, Boston, cooper, perhaps son of Nathaniel of Weymouth, had lived at Falmouth, where before 1667 he married Sarah, daughter of Arthur Macworth, and from his widow had gift of an island in Casco Bay. (Willis, I. 75). Later in life he was an innholder, and one of that band of volunteers who took, October 1689, a piratic. vessel, in the Vineyard Sound, after some resistance and brought her into Boston. His wife was Abigail, daughter of Nicholas Wilmot, who in his will of 27 September 1684, provides for her share of his estate. From the will of Adams, made 6, probably 18 April 1700, we learn, that he had by a former w.i.c. Macworth's daughter, two daughters, Sarah Grant and Jane Snelling, and by wife Abigail, made extrix. had Zachariah, Samuel, Abraham, Mary, Abigail, and Elizabeth. Savage, James.
