294 The date and place of their marriage are from Sanborn and Sanborn, "Vital Records of Hampton, New Hampshire, to the End of the Year 1900," [1992], p. 73 and Anderson, Robert Charles, "The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England, 1620-1633," [1995, NEHGS], v. 1, p. 213. Hannah's brother-in-law was the Rev. Seaborn COTTON, Hampton's fourth minister. This corrects misinformation in GDMNH, p. 751, which without citing a source, says they married in Andover, Massachusetts, on "3 [or 8]" June 1659. It seems likely that Rev. Seaborn COTTON performed the Hampton ceremony. Family: F2022

385 Charlemagne, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire also went by the nick-name of Charlemagne the Great. He gained the title of King Charlemagne of the Franks in 768. He was crowned Holy Roman Emperor on 25 December 800.
He married, firstly, Desideria in 770. He married Hildegard of Vinzgau, daughter of Gerold I, Count of Vinzgau and Imma of Swabia, circa 772 in a Aix-la-Chapelle, France marriage. He married, thirdly, Fastrada in 784. He married, fourthly, Luitgard in 794.
-----
Charlemagne (pronounced /???rl?me?n/; Latin: Carolus Magnus or Karolus Magnus, meaning Charles the Great; 2 April 742 – 28 January 814) was King of the Franks from 768 and Emperor of the Romans (Imperator Romanorum) from 800 to his death. He expanded the Frankish kingdom into a Frankish Empire that incorporated much of Western and Central Europe. During his reign, he conquered Italy and was crowned Imperator Augustus by Pope Leo III on 25 December 800 which temporarily made him a rival of the Byzantine Emperor in Constantinople. His rule is also associated with the Carolingian Renaissance, a revival of art, religion, and culture through the medium of the Catholic Church. Through his foreign conquests and internal reforms, Charlemagne helped define both Western Europe and the Middle Ages. He is numbered as Charles I in the regnal lists of France, Germany (where he is known as Karl der Große), and the Holy Roman Empire.
The son of King Pepin the Short and Bertrada of Laon, he succeeded his father and co-ruled with his brother Carloman I. The latter got on badly with Charlemagne, but war was prevented by the sudden death of Carloman in 771. Charlemagne continued the policy of his father towards the papacy and became its protector, removing the Lombards from power in Italy, and leading an incursion into Muslim Spain, to which he was invited by the Muslim governor of Barcelona. Charlemagne was promised several Iberian cities in return for giving military aid to the governor, however, the deal was withdrawn. Subsequently, Charlemagne's retreating army experienced its worst defeat at the hands of the Basques, at the Battle of Roncesvalles (778) memorialised, although heavily fictionalised, in the Song of Roland. He also campaigned against the peoples to his east, especially the Saxons, and after a protracted war subjected them to his rule. By forcibly converting them to Christianity, he integrated them into his realm and thus paved the way for the later Ottonian dynasty.
Today he is regarded not only as the founding father of both French and German monarchies, but also as the father of Europe: his empire united most of Western Europe for the first time since the Romans, and the Carolingian renaissance encouraged the formation of a common European identity.
-----
Charlemagne is believed to have been born in 742; however, several factors have led to a reconsideration of this date. First, the year 742 was calculated from his age given at death, rather than from attestation in primary sources. Another date is given in the Annales Petaviani, that of 2 April 747.[3] In that year, 2 April was at Easter. The birth of an emperor at Eastertime is a coincidence likely to provoke comment, but there was no such comment documented in 747, leading some to suspect that the Easter birthday was a pious fiction concocted as a way of honoring the Emperor. Other commentators weighing the primary records have suggested that his birth was one year later, in 748. At present, it is impossible to be certain of the date of the birth of Charlemagne. The best guesses include 1 April 747, after 15 April 747, or 1 April 748, in Herstal (where his father was born, a town close to Liège in modern day Belgium), the region from where both the Merovingian and Carolingian families originated. He went to live in his father's villa in Jupille when he was around seven, which caused Jupille to be listed as a possible place of birth in almost every history book. Other cities have been suggested, including, Prüm, Düren, Gauting and Aachen.
-----
A good description by Einhard, author of the biography Vita Karoli Magni. Einhard tells:
He was heavily built, sturdy, and of considerable stature, although not exceptionally so, since his height was seven times the length of his own foot. He had a round head, large and lively eyes, a slightly larger nose than usual, white but still attractive hair, a bright and cheerful expression, a short and fat neck, and he enjoyed good health, except for the fevers that affected him in the last few years of his life. Toward the end he dragged one leg. Even then, he stubbornly did what he wanted and refused to listen to doctors, indeed he detested them, because they wanted to persuade him to stop eating roast meat, as was his wont, and to be content with boiled meat.
-----
Charlemagne's tomb was opened by scientists who reconstructed his skeleton and found that it measured 74.9 inches (190 centimeters).
-----
Charlemagne wore the traditional, inconspicuous and distinctly non-aristocratic costume of the Frankish people, described by Einhard thus:
He used to wear the national, that is to say, the Frank dress: next to his skin a linen shirt and linen breeches, and above these a tunic fringed with silk; while hose fastened by bands covered his lower limbs, and shoes his feet, and he protected his shoulders and chest in winter by a close-fitting coat of otter or marten skins.
He wore a blue cloak and always carried a sword with him. The typical sword was of a golden or silver hilt. He wore fancy jewelled swords to banquets or ambassadorial receptions. Nevertheless:
He despised foreign costumes, however handsome, and never allowed himself to be robed in them, except twice in Rome, when he donned the Roman tunic, chlamys, and shoes; the first time at the request of Pope Hadrian, the second to gratify Leo, Hadrian's successor.
He could rise to the occasion when necessary. On great feast days, he wore embroidery and jewels on his clothing and shoes. He had a golden buckle for his cloak on such occasions and would appear with his great diadem, but he despised such apparel, according to Einhard, and usually dressed like the common people.
-----
Charlemagne first married Desiderata, the daughter of King Desiderius of the Lombards, in exchange for armies to defeat his brother Carloman. Less than a year after his marriage, he repudiated Desiderata, and quickly remarried to a 13-year-old Swabian named Hildegard. The repudiated Desiderata returned to her father's court at Pavia. The Lombard's wrath was now aroused and he would gladly have allied with Carloman to defeat Charles, but before war could break out, Carloman died on 5 December 771.
-----
Charlemagne's attitude toward his daughters has been the subject of much discussion. He kept them at home with him, and refused to allow them to contract sacramental marriages – possibly to prevent the creation of cadet branches of the family to challenge the main line, as had been the case with Tassilo of Bavaria – yet he tolerated their extramarital relationships, even rewarding their common-law husbands, and treasured the illegitimate grandchildren they produced for him. He also, apparently, refused to believe stories of their wild behaviour. After his death the surviving daughters were banished from the court by their brother, the pious Louis, to take up residence in the convents they had been bequeathed by their father. At least one of them, Bertha, had a recognised relationship, if not a marriage, with Angilbert, a member of Charlemagne's court circle.
-----
Charlemagne had twenty children over the course of his life with eight of his ten known wives or concubines. Nonetheless, he only had four legitimate grandsons, the four sons of his third son, Louis. In addition, he had a grandson (Bernard of Italy, only son of his third son, Pippin of Italy), who was born illegitimate but included in the line of inheritance. So, despite twenty children, the claimants to his inheritance were few.

His first relationship was with Himiltrude. The nature of this relationship is variously described as concubinage, a legal marriage or as a Friedelehe. (Charlemagne put her aside when he married Desiderata.) The union with Himiltrude produced two children:
Amaudru, a daughter
Pippin the Hunchback (ca. 769-811)
After her, his first wife was Desiderata, daughter of Desiderius, king of the Lombards; married in 770, annulled in 771
His second wife was Hildegard (757 or 758-783), married 771, died 783. By her he had nine children:
Charles the Younger (ca.772-4 December 811), Duke of Maine, and crowned King of the Franks on 25 December 800
Carloman, renamed Pippin (April 773-8 July 810), King of Italy
Adalhaid (774), who was born whilst her parents were on campaign in Italy. She was sent back to Francia, but died before reaching Lyons
Rotrude (or Hruodrud) (775-6 June 810)
Louis (778-20 June 840), twin of Lothair, King of Aquitaine since 781, crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 813, senior Emperor from 814
Lothair (778-6 February 779/780), twin of Louis, he died in infancy[32]
Bertha (779-826)
Gisela (781-808)
Hildegarde (782-783)
His third wife was Fastrada, married 784, died 794. By her he had:
Theodrada (b.784), abbess of Argenteuil
Hiltrude (b.787)
His fourth wife was Luitgard, married 794, died childless

His first known concubine was Gersuinda. By her he had:
Adaltrude (b.774)
His second known concubine was Madelgard. By her he had:
Ruodhaid (775-810), abbess of Faremoutiers
His third known concubine was Amaltrud of Vienne. By her he had:
Alpaida (b.794)
His fourth known concubine was Regina. By her he had:
Drogo (801-855), Bishop of Metz from 823 and abbot of Luxeuil Abbey
Hugh (802-844), archchancellor of the Empire
His fifth known concubine was Ethelind. By her he had:
Richbod (805-844), Abbott of Saint-Riquier
Theodoric (b. 807) 		Emperor Charlemagne
 
386 Charles I, Roi de France also went by the nick-name of Charles “the Bald”. He gained the title of Roi Charles I de France in 840. He was crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 875. He succeeded to the title of Emperor Charles II of the Holy Roman Empire in 875. King Charles I “the Bald”

417 Following are all items found in the source historical records which reference Christopher Adams.

"Christopher Adams, the earliest of his name to appear in New England,"mariner" of Portsmouth. In 1668 buying his Kittery homestead, which fell to Hon Mark Dennett, who wrote "by tradition from Wales."] Will 13 June1685, 21 Sept 1687, names four children, cousin Isaac Goodridge, wife Margaret. She was daughter of Mark Hunking and died 9 December 1722 leaving will. Goodridge called her "my aunt Mrs. Margaret Adams." Children Anne m 1st Joseph Couch Jr, 2nd David Hill, 3rd Nicholas Weeks.

"Sheres and wife Susanna sold, 14 Nov. 1664, their one hundred acres which had been granted by the town, 3 March 1651, and moved to Cape Neddick in York, where he was living in 1680. The purchaser was Nathaniel Fryer of Portsmouth, who sold it to Christopher Adams, 1 March 1668. It was twenty-four rods in breadth by the water side and lay "between the Lands of Robert Mendum on the wester side and William Palmeron the Nother side."

"GOODRICH: Isaac Goodrich, "lately from England," bought land of William Palmer in 1685. He was nephew of Margaret (Hunking), wife of Christopher Adams. York Deeds, IV. 147. I find no mention of him after 1696. Jeremiah Goodrich lived in Kittery a short time after 1670." (This man, Isaac Goodrich, is mentioned in other family documents as a "cousin" of Christopher's.)

"A David Hill married, 25 Oct. 1710, Anne, widow of Joseph Couch and dau. of Christopher Adams. He died about March 1717, leaving children, one aged 4 years 8 months, the other 2 years.

"Coffin says that William Palmer came to Newbury, Mass., about 1637 and removed to Piscataqua. He was born about 1613 and was living in Kittery in 1642. He sold his farm to Christopher Adams and removed to Cape Porpus in 1675."

One record notes the "enjoined marriage" of a John Crassy, to Patience Jeffrey, whom "he got with child." Mr. Crassy was noted to be a servant of Christopher Adams. Mr. Crassy was indeed forced to "make the marriage, but decamped and was deported back to England" by court order for his irresponsibility.

Andros, he namedwife Margaret and four children--John, Mark, Ann and Mary, besides cousinIsaac Goodwright, to which are given two cows."

***From: Ancestral Heads of New England Families, "Christopher Adams wasat Braintree Mass 1645, removed to Kittery."

***The LDS genealogy website states that the parents of Christopher Adams(born 1625) were Henry Adams and Edith Squire. Another record stated thatHenry Adams (the immigrant and founder of the line that produced the twoAmerican Presidents) was "of Welsh origin" which coincides with what wassaid of Christopher Adams by his son-in-law, Mark Dennett, followingChristopher's death...that he was "of Welsh tradition."

***Another record states that Christopher and his wife Margaret Hunkingwere married in Braintree, Massachusetts.

***From: The First Settlers of New England, "Christopher was a petitionerwith Henry Adams Sr and Jr with Thomas and Samuel Adams for Land inMassachusetts in 1644." "The Sachems, Sacanonoco,of Pawtuxet, and Pumbom,of Shawomock (now Warwick, R. I.), having on the 22nd (4 mo) 1643,formally placed themselves and country under jurisdiction of Mass.,Nicholas Wood, with Henry Adams Sr., of Braintree, Henry Adams Jr., andThomas, Samuel, John and Christopher Adams, and above twenty others, wereinduced to petition the General Court, who October 1, 1645, granted them10,000 acres West of Narragansett Bay, to be "set out for their town",and resolved that the number of 7 actual settlers should have power toadmit or keep out whom they should think good; that the General Courtshould write letters to Benedict Arnold to compound with Pumbom at theeasiest rate he could, for his right in any improved ground; and that thepetitioners should dispose of the houses built upon said ground (by thepersecuted Gortonites), and pay to such as built them what the Courtshall hereafter appoint, adding for their encouragement, "if they shallsee cause to so do".

HENRY ADAMS OF WALES AND BRAINTREE:
*****************************************************
The events involved in this early family history were well beforeenumerations (census-taking) were performed, and before there was arequirement for civil registration of marriages and births. Thehistorical and genealogical histories appear to be based on survivingcourt and land records, well as documents regarding civil appointments,and oral tradition. The information about Henry Adams, the immigrant andfounder of the Presidential line, itself is sketchy and based mostly onoral tradition, with only his surviving Last Will and Testament and avery few other court documents of the times to support it.

"From the "Descendants of Henry Adams", (born in 1472 in England and theancestor of the Henry Adams who established the Adams family in America)in the fifth generation of descent, is Henry Adams, born January 21, 1582to 1588 in Barton St. David, Somerset, England and died October 6, 1646in Braintree, Norfolk County, Massachusetts. His wife was Edith Squire,born in Charlton Mackrell, Somersetshire, England, daughter of HenrySquire. Edith had been baptized at Charlton Mackrell, Somersetshire,England. Edith came to Boston with her husband Henry and children1632/33. She is mentioned in Henry's will, 1647."

"Henry Adams emigrated from England to Braintree, Massachusetts in 1638.Occupation: Maltster and farmer. Buried October 8, 1646, Braintree,Norfolk, Massachusetts. Record says "8 day 8 mo 1646")."

"Henry (who emigrated) married Edith Squire in Charleton Mackrell,Somersetshire, England October 19, 1609. Henry Adams was born in BartonSt. Davids, Parish, Somersetshire, England where his family had livedfor several generations. He was a maltster and, presumably, a husbandmanlike his father and grandfather before him. The earliest record of himis in 1604 when he was executor of his father's estate and the next in1609 when he married Edith Squire. Only two other records have beenfound in which his name is mentioned: in 1609, when he was co-executor ofthe will of his brother John and an original parchment bond found in theDiocesan Registry showing that in 1614 he was living in Barton St.David. It contains the only known signature of Henry. At some timebetween 1614 and 1622 he moved to the adjacent parish of Kingweston wherehis youngest children were baptized, the last in 1629, and where heprobably lived until his emigration in 1638. Henry arrived in America onthe ship "Mary & John" with his wife, 7 sons and 1 daughter, only sonJonathan did not make the voyage; he came later. At the same time asthis Henry Adams immigrated, Henry's wife's sister, Margaret (Squire)Shepherd and her husband Thomas and their children also immigrated,joining a third Squire sister, Anne (Squire) (Purchase) Oliver, who hadimmigrated in 1633 with her then husband, Aquila Purchase."

From Savage, Vol 1, Dictionary of First Settlers of New England, "Adams,Henry, Braintree, came early to our country, and tradition says Braintreewas part, i.e. the portion for ten heads. Perhaps he wasn't first clerkof the town, after separating from Boston, though more likely it is thathis son of the same name, Henry Adams, had that honor; and he died 8October 1646, leaving by tradition eight sons, yet only five are named inhis will, 1646, proved 8 June 1647, where appear Peter, John, Joseph,Edward, Samuel, and daughter Ursula. Of this daughter, as tradition tonotice, it may be that the number eight applied to sons, means in truthchildren, seven sons and one daughter, but names enough for the sons maybe seen, and certainly one son good, if not two, beyond the devices inthe will as Henry, Thomas, Jonathan, in some reports called William. Theinscription on the monument erected by his descendant, John Adams, secondPresident of the United States reads "Memor of Henry Adams who tookflight from the Dragon persecution, Devonshire, England, and alightedwith eight sons, near Mt. Wollaston." One of the sons returned to Englandand, after taking some time to explore the country, four removed toMedfield, and to the neighboring towns, two to Chelmsford. One only,Joseph, who lies here at his left hand, remained, who was an originalproprietor in the township of Braintree incorporated 1639."

"Henry was one of the earliest settlers of Mt. Wollaston, incorporatedin 1640 as Braintree, MA and included what is now Quincy, Braintree andRandolph, MA. He received a land grant of 40 acres for 10 people at "TheMount" 24 Feb 1641 in a vote at Boston, of which Braintree was then apart. He settled on that land which became a part of Quincy in 1792. InOctober, 1645 thirty-two residents of Braintree petitioned the GeneralCourt regarding a grant of land and among the names were Henry Adams,Sr. and Jr., Thomas, Samuel, John and Christopher. This accounts for allthe sons except Jonathan, still in England, and Joseph and Edward whowere still minors."

"Henry died 6 Oct. 1646 and was buried 8 October. The Last Will andTestament was dated 1646 and was proved 8 June 1647. A copy of the willis printed in the NEHGS "Register," Vol 7, page 35. The estateinventory, dated 8 June 1647 totaled 75 pounds, 13."

The children of Henry Adams and Edith Squire mentioned in his will, arePeter, John, Ursula, Joseph, Samuel, and Edward. Those children notmentioned in his will, but names which by tradition are said to be thenames of his other children, include the names Thomas, Henry,Christopher, and William. There is documentation in historical records tosupport all four names, despite there being only three children notlisted in Henry's Last Will and Testament.

If Christopher was a son of that family, then he would have been agreat-great-grand-uncle of President John Adams, the second President ofthe United States.

426 There is only one John Adams listed as an heir in the will of John Adams(Sr). Note that there are two sons named John, and it appears that onlyone is mentioned in the will. With two sons named John it is likely thatdocumentation has confused the two of them but there is no way other thanbasing guesses upon dates to sort them out from each other. If there wereindeed two sons named John, generally that means that the earliest onedied and his name given again to a later born child. That does not appearto be the case here. Perhaps they went by unknown middle names todifferentiate them. ADAMS, John
 
427 He apparently went by the name of Dwight, per condolence letter to Mrs.N.J. Adams in 1910, for his death. He died at the age of 11. ADAMS, Leslie Dwight
 
428 Her first husband, Alexander Shapleigh, died almost immediately after their marriage. There were no children. ADAMS, Mary
 
429 He was known to have run away from home according to family oral history. "We are aware of a rift between Newton Adams and his family since he ran away from home. Newton was said to have been a strong headed, rebellious man." (Letter from Gordon Kratz.)

Norton was 24 years old at the time of his marriage to 16 year old Nettie Gibbs.

He signs his letters to his wife Nettie as NJA, which substantiates his middle initial as being J rather than E which appears on some census records.

The copies of the correspondence from Newton J Adams to Nettie, is all from the last two years of his life. He was writing from what sounds like "baths", living as a resident in them, and seeing doctors regularly. and speaks in his letters about his health and appetite.

Newton J Adams indentured for 7500 for real estate in the County of Sedgwick, Kansas, Lots 3 and 4 of NW quarter of Section 5, and lots 1 and 2 and the south half of the north east quarter of section 5, all in Township 27 south, range 1 West of the 6th principal meridian, and containing 240 acres, more or less.

Newton died six months after this warranty deed. In 1912, Nettie transferred ownership of this land to their daughter, Bessie Faye Tyson. 		ADAMS, Newton J.
 
430 Ruth cared for both her sister Bessie, in ill-health, and her mother,Nettie, paying all their expenses while trying to raise her two sons fromLawrence Kratz. There are a large number of receipts that Ruth kept andwhich have been passed down to me, documenting some of the quite largeexpenses Nettie ran up and which Ruth had to pay. Her sons all sent hermoney regularly to help.

There is family lore that Ruth and Lawrence Kratz had a baby girl beforeRichard and Gordon were born. I am doing what I can to research this. Ibelieve her name was Ruth.

In later years, Ruth Elaine, changed her name to Elaine, and as asong-writer and musician (per family lore) she actually changed her birthdate, which, when she was ready for Social Security, took someconsiderable straightening out on the part of her son Gordon, who passedthis story on to me.

Ruth had a stroke in her mid-70s and while visiting with her sonRichard's family in Houston in 1973, she had a heart attack and died attheir home. Richard arranged that she be buried in the Catholic cemeteryin Houston, and later, after his death, he was buried beside her. 		ADAMS, Ruth Elaine

432 From written records we know that Thomas Adams was "a man of some distinction in his immediate vicinity, and in his later years, he purchased a farm in the neighborhood of Limerick, Maine, to which farm, he and his family retired."

Records show that a Thomas Adams of his age was listed in the 1790 York, Maine census as a "tanner and a currier," tanning and dressing leather.

In 1790 he married Mary Perry in Limerick, Maine, and in 1811, at the age of 38, he married Elizabeth "Betsey" Dolloff.

In the 1800 Limerick, Maine census, a Thomas Adams is listed as having ahousehold with 2 females under 10 (which would correspond to Polly andSally), and 2 males under the age of 10 (John and Oliver), and one malebetween the ages of 26 and 44 (himself, and son,Thomas) and one femalebetween the ages of 26 and 44 (Mary Perry Adams, his wife.) Listedimmediately below his name in that census record, is that of John orJoseph of Josia (illegible) Perry, James Perry, Widow Perry, and JohnPerry, who are very likely the family of his first wife, Mary Perry.

Thomas Adams died young, in 1827, at the age of 52, leaving a youngpregnant widow, and four children.

His son, Thomas Frederick Adams, was born four months after Thomas Adams' death, Betsey Dolloff and Thomas Adams had been married only 14 years at the time she was widowed. As they reached the appropriate age, at least two of their sons, Thomas Frederick Adams and Albert C. Adams, were apprenticed to trades at the age of 13, and likely their income was much needed by the fatherless family. 		ADAMS, Thomas
 
433 It is this Thomas, grandson of Christopher, who was given the homesteadin Christopher's will. ADAMS, Thomas
 
434 Per family four-generation news clipping photograph and shreds ofreadable text around the edges of the photocopied news photo, we knew, tobegin with, that Thomas Frederick Adams was "formerly a sailor" and thathe was born in Maine. To substantiate his origins, I discovered that inthe 1900 Carroll County, Kentucky census, Newton Adams' entry listed hisfather (Thomas) as having been born in Maine. In later censuses and inhis marriage applications, Thomas Frederick Adams listed his place ofbirth as Maine. Oral tradition passed down from his granddaughter RuthElaine Adams, to her son, Gordon Kratz, to me, was that Thomas FrederickAdams had been born in Maine, and had run away as a young man. Thatinformation, and photocopies of family letters and certificates ofinsurance and a death certificate for a grandson, provided the clueswhich launched me on the search for the Adams ancestral history.

A copy of that news photo from the early 1900s is included in the album.It is a four generational picture showing Thomas Frederick Adams on theleft, his son Newton Adams on the right, his grandson Frederick Adamsstanding in the back, and Frederick's unnamed 2 year old son. Thesepeople were identified to me by Gordon Kratz, as identified to him by hismother, Ruth Elaine Adams Greenwood Kratz.

Thomas Frederick Adams was born four months after the death of hisfather, Thomas Adams.

Thomas Frederick had two brothers, Albert and Charles, and two sisters,Caroline and Harriet, who were all likely born in York County, Limerick,Maine, where their parents, Thomas Adams and Betsey Dolloff lived on afarm. He also had 7 half-brothers and sisters, born to his father's firstwife, Mary Perry.

The early Maine census records only name heads of households. No childrennames and ages, or spousal names are listed. Having "run away" from homeat the age of 13, Thomas Frederick Adams never appears in the MaineCensus records.

Following his youthful adventures at sea (see below), Thomas FrederickAdams established himself in Indiana, where his mother and his brotherAlbert( and his wife and two children) had previously moved, and inDecember of 1847, Thomas F Adams married Lucy Cole, in SwitzerlandCounty, Indiana, per the Indiana Marriage Index. There were many largeCole families in the county at that time.

The children of Thomas Frederick Adams and Lucy (Cole) Adams listed inthe 1860 Indiana census for Switzerland County, Cotton Township, wereLewis J. age 12, Harriet E. age 10, John W. age 7, Newton E. age 2, andCharley A. age 1. In the previous census, in 1850, Thomas Frederick Adamsis not listed, but Lucy Adams is listed, with her one year old son,Lewis.

Thomas Frederick Adams' second wife was Melissa Downey, who was listedwith him in that 1860 census record. Information for that marriage camefrom the Indiana Marriage Index 1851-1900. At the time of the 1860enumeration, Melissa was age 25, born in Indiana and a daughter, Leora ismentioned for the first time in that census record, along with all theprevious children in that 1860 census. It is not known why Leora was notin previous census listings with the family. Dates would indicate thatLeora is a child of Thomas Frederick Adams by Lucy Cole.

Following the death of Melissa, in 1864, Thomas Frederick Adams marriedfor the third time, to Rebecca Dickerson. (Her last name is seen to haveat least four various spellings in the various records.) She had sixchildren following their marriage, and those children's names are listedin the 1880 Switzerland County, Indiana, census: Thomas, Rebeca (sic),and the children, Elsie, Edith, Silvester (sic), Charlotte, Lenny, andAlma.

What records exist, indicate that Thomas Frederick had six children byLucy Cole, none by Melissa Downey, and six by Rebecca Dickerson.

The 1880 Switzerland County, Cotton Township, Indiana Census, (microfilmT9-313), also lists Thomas's father as being from Maine, and for thefirst time provided the information that his mother was from NewHampshire. That census stated his age to be 52, 53 or 55. The age isbarely legible. His occupation is listed as farmer. His Dwelling # was 83in 1880.

In the 1970s we had received information from a Gladys Thomasmeyer,another descendant, who traced her ancestry back to a Thomas Adams and anElizabeth Dolloff of New Hampshire to a Josiah Dolloff, a soldier in theRevolutionary War. It was at this point of discovering that ThomasFrederick's mother was from New Hampshire, that we were able to link upthe two histories, and were later able to substantiate the informationfrom New Hampshire and Maine historical and genealogical records.

The following "history" was passed down through Deborah Ray Piper's lineof descent from Albert C Adam Sr. This story of Thomas Frederick Adamswas first an oral family history which eventually was committed towriting and published in a genealogical reference: "History ofSwitzerland County, Indiana from their earliest settlement" Chicago:Weakley, Harraman & Co.,Publishers, 1885 - page 1185 & 1186, BiographicalSketches.

"A retired representative of the agricultural interest of Pratt County,Kansas, Thomas had seen much of life, and that in many climes. At the ageof 82 he was still in active and robust health. At the age of 78 he wasliving on Section 2, Township 28, of Valley Township, near the village ofCunningham, Kansas.

"He was a native of Maine, of a mixed English and Irish descent. He was atanner and a currier (sic) by trade.

"As a boy, at the age of 13, Thomas Frederick Adams was apprenticed tothe trade of carpentry, being bound to a carpenter at Randolph,Massachusetts. Being a lad of independent spirits and the service to thecarpenter not to his liking, he ran away, and at New Bedford,Massachusetts, at the age of 13, he shipped out in a whaler. This ship,called the "John Howland," (see Family Album) was bound for the SouthPacific on a long cruise. Thomas spent the following three and one-halfyears on this cruise. The voyage took in many of the islands of thePacific. On one occasion, while the ship was putting into the "SocietyIslands" for water and provisions, the cry of "Thar She Blows" came fromthe man on lookout, and boats were quickly lowered. All haste was madetowards a school of whales led by an enormous specimen. Thomas was in theprow of a boat, and pulled the after-oar, and his boat was fortunateenough to get to it first, succeeding in killing the whale. It was a 100foot long whale, yielding 100 barrels of oil. It will be of interest inpassing that one tooth of this gigantic monster weighed two pounds andmeasured eight inches in length, and eight inches in circumference. As asouvenir of his life at sea, he brought home such a whale's tooth, onwhich was neatly engraved a picture of the ship on which he had sailed.During his voyage, he passed through many exciting and dangerousadventures, at one time being in a boat when it was stove-in by an angrywhale, and he came near to being drowned.

"Returning to New Bedford at the end of the cruise, Thomas again shippedout on board another vessel, this one being a US Man of War, the"Cumberland," an historic frigate which in later years, during the CivilWar, was sunk by the Merrimack at Hampton Roads. At the time that Thomastook sail on her (he was 16 years old), she was bound for theMediterranean squadron. It was her maiden cruise. She was made theflagship of the Mediterranean Squadron. Her captain was Samuel L. Breeze,and the commander of the squadron was a Commodore Smith. Thomas served onboard the Cumberland for three years, during which time he was in everyport in the Mediterranean Sea.

"He next took service at the age of 19 on the Montezuma, bound forValparizo, with a large cargo of merchandise. Thomas was engaged in thisservice on the sea and lakes for five years, until he was 24 years ofage, in 1847. His last voyage was from San Francisco to New Bedford. Uponthat occasion, he went to visit his widowed mother, who was now living inSwitzerland County, Indiana. His brother, Albert C Adams Sr and his wife,were already living there.

"He was prevailed upon to quit the sea, and he then located in that areaof Indiana. There he married Lucy Cole, who bore him six children. Shedied prior to the Civil War.

"His second marriage was to Melissa Downey, with whom he lived forseveral years, until the outbreak of the Civil War.

"He enlisted in October of 1861 in the 50th Indiana Infantry, Company 3,with Captain Percy Rouse and Colonel Ayrus Dunham commanding theregiment. This regiment was composed largely of Indiana deer hunters andsaw a great deal of service as sharp-shooters. They were in advance ofmany battles, and were later sent to Little Rock, Arkansas, where theyfought Price continuously for 42 days. There were scarcely any of themilitary leaders of the south that the regiment was not pitted against,including Forest, Morgan, and others. At the battle of Camiden, Thomasreceived a bad wound through the leg, and was also struck a glancing blowover his left eye by a mini ball.

"At the Battle of the Green River Bridge, he received a severe saberwound, having volunteered for special duty, the object being to capture16 of Morgan's men who had become isolated from their company. They weresurrounded in a farm house, but were too quick for their pursuers, andsucceeded in reaching horses. They made a bad fight of it, and one ofthem singled out Mr. Adams, and riding furiously upon him, slashedviciously with his saber, but was neatly picked off his horse by Mr.Adams' bayonet, but in the action, Mr. Adams was not able to prevent athrust from the saber of his enemy. From the effects of this wound, helater became disabled, and it was years before he recovered. He wasdischarged from Indianapolis in 1864 for disability, having served assergeant of his company during the latter part of his participation inthe war.

"During his absence, Mr. Adams' second wife, Melissa Downey, had died. Hefound a mother for his children in Rebecca Dickinson.

"In 1884, when Thomas Frederick Adams was 61 years old, he and his thirdwife, Rebecca, moved to the great state of Kansas, where they located inPratt County and homesteaded 160 acres in Valley Township. Here he put upthe usual shelter of that period, a home made of sod, 16 feet by 30 feetin size. There they lived for the next seven years while they raisedtheir new family. He then bought a house in the village of Cairo, andmoved the house to his farm. There he engaged in farming and raisingstock. The farm on which he lived was one of the most valuable farms inthe county, and it was well improved by him, and had good buildings andfences appropriate to a farm of the times. He had 70 head of fine cattleand other animals such as are found on an ordinary ranch.

443 William Allen appears in Salisbury, MA in 1639. He participated in the first division of Salisbury land in 1639 when the town was called Colchester, and in that of 1640 when it became Salisbury. He was a house carpenter by trade and because he consistently signed documents with his mark, it would seem that he could not write. He participated when the town divided the mowing of beach lots in 1654 and in 1657 he bought lot No. 35 of Mr. Hall's farm, which Hall had sold to the town, for £1: 18: 2. His name appears on several church lists and petitions. He also bought and sold several small planting lots, ox commons, etc., between 1650 and 1667. He was sworn constable of Salisbury on 9 April 1650 and was on the Grand Jury in the Salisbury Court of 2 December 1666.
In 1677 he was in court twice: one on July 5 he complained that Sarah Taylor, his servant, had departed in a disorderly way, accusing his wife of beating her cruelly. The court ordered Sarah's mother to place her in some godly family and in the meantime Sarah was "to refrain from the company of Goodwife Houldredge and Sarah Buswell." In October Allen and his son, Jeremy, then aged 19, were sued by Joseph Greely to recover a horse which Jeremy had taken without Greeley's knowledge. Greeley won the case and Allen was ordered to return the horse within one month, if it was sound and well. If it was not, Greeley was to recover £5 in corn or neat cattle.

451 Per Grandma (Janice Angell Cooper), on the day that Elliott Jr died, he had stopped by Grandma's house on Perry street after work but they weren't there. He was on his way to dance lessons on Superior Street when he was hit by a train. He had just come home from work & was dirty & didn't want them taken but Grandma insisted. She is happy that she did now. Newspaper article from Sept 1942 (not sure of paper name or exact date)

Parma Man is Killed Elliott Angell Is Fatally Hurt by Train. Elliott B. Angell, J r, 20, of Parma, repair worker in the general stores department of the Consumers Power Co., Jackson, for the last year, died in a hospital at Albion Wednesday night an hour after his car had been struck by a Michigan Central freight train at the Erie St. crossing, Albion. He apparently drove onto the tracks in front of the westbound train just after the eastbound passenger "flyer" had passed. He was taken to Sheldon Memorial hospital. Angell was a son of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Angell, who survived with two sisters, Mrs. R. B. Joslyn of Lansing and Mrs. Glenn Cooper of Albion, and his grandmother, Mrs. Oscar Baker of Jackson.

Newspaper article from Sept 1942 (not sure of paper name or exact date) Elliott Angell Jr. Dies In Auto Crash Collided With Freight Train Wednesday Night In Albion; Funeral Sat. The village was shocked today to learn that Elliott Angell, Jr. 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elliott Angell, died Wednesday evening from the result of injuries received earlier in the evening when he was hit by a train at the Erie St. crossing in Albion as he was crossing the tracks in his car. According to witnesses, Angell, headed west on Erie Street , had waited for an eastbound train to pass and as he was crossing the tracks was struck by a west-bound train. Following the accident, he was moved to Sheldon Memorial hospital in Albion where he died about 45 minutes after being admitted, never regaining consciousness. Funeral services will be held in the Parma United church at three o'clock Saturday afternoon with arrangements by the Lane Funeral Home. Surviving besides the parents are two sisters, Mrs. R. B.

461 Hywel Dda (c. 880 – 950), (English: Hywel the Good;, sometimes anglicized to Howell the Good) was a well-thought-of king of Deheubarth in south-west Wales, who, using his cunning, eventually came to rule Wales from Prestatyn to Pembroke. As a descendant of Rhodri Mawr through his father Cadell, Hywel was a member of the Dinefwr branch of the dynasty and is also named Hywel ap Cadell. He was recorded as King of the Britons in the Annales Cambriae and the Annals of Ulster.
He is remembered as one of the most responsible native Welsh rulers of all time. His name is particularly linked with the development of the Welsh laws, generally known as the Laws of Hywel Dda. The latter part of his name ('Dda' or 'Good') refers to the fact that his laws were just and good. The historian Dafydd Jenkins sees in them compassion rather than punishment, plenty of common sense and a sense of respect towards women.
Hywel Dda was certainly a well-educated man, even by modern standards, having a good knowledge of Welsh, Latin, and English. 		AP CADELL, King Hywell Dda “the Good”
 
462 Salvatore and his wife were married when she was only 13. It was anarranged marriaged. He left her and came to America to fight in WWIbeside the Americans. His brother came also. He went back to Italy for atime. He and his brother saved passage money to America and came throughEllis Island. The brother settled in Bellvue and Salvatore settled inCleveland and there began a plastering business with lovely cornices andelaborate ceilings which still exist in older homes in the Clevelandarea.

They lived at 18217 Libby Road in Maple Heights, Ohio.

His granddaughter Kathryn Kratz remembers him as always buying her Clarkbars and Sicilian toys from Little Italy, one that was all wrapped up increpe ribbon and as it was unwound, little trinkets would fall out of itand in the middle was a hard candy. She recalls that they had two cherrytrees, one in the front yard and one in the back, from which pies weremade. He had a garden with grape vines over a large "hallway" of vinesover trellises. He grew squash and green vegetables and he built a Boccicourt with four long 2x4s parallel to each other, five feet apart, with adirt bowling lane down the middle. Behind the garage was a mini-junk yardand a car abandoned there had a crushed windshield. When they werelittle, Kathryn, Joe and Jim would collect the little glass squares andpretend they were diamonds.

Their kitchen was to the back, and on the right side of the house. Therewas a back hallway entrance to the kitchen. There were boarders, "UncleCharlie" (not related) downstairs, and a family upstairs, where there wasan efficiency set up. That guaranteed income. Grandmother's kitchensmelled like garlic, baking flour, Italian bread, and olive oil. She keptCella Lambrusco underneath a cupbord (large size). Nano liked red sweetwine, and the men would smoke and drink wine, and play cards around thatart deco blue-green table. Nana cooked spaghetti from scratch, layingthose long noodle over a cloth on her bed to dry. It took more than twodays to dry, but I never asked how they slept while they were dryingnoodles. They roll the dough over long thin sticks-like on the end of abroom. That makes the strands hollow. They are very chewy, once they arecooked.

There is an intricate naming system in Sicily. The first girl gets thedad's mother's name. The second girl gets the husband's sister's name.There were 2 Giuseppinas, Salvatore's sister, and nana's sister.

Family lore has it that he descended from some Swedish immigrants toSicily.

Records may be via Messina or Palermo.

His wife died of pneumonia twenty years before his death. He neverremarried.

Others of their children settled in the Bellvieu, Ohio area. 		ARTINO, Salvatore Bologna

Stephen Batchelder, 87 years old, Oxford graduate, weary veteran of a lifetime of losing contests with both Church of England and Puritan hierarchies, she vaulted into the history books by adultery with next-door neighbor George Rogers and a subsequent sentence by the Georgiana (York) court to be flogged and branded with the letter "A" ("Old York", "Romance of the Maine Coast," Sylvester, Vol. II, 559-363). Not so well known is her remarkable recovery from public humiliation to a position of stature and respect in the community. Mary's triump over adversity, and her growth in character rivaled that of Hawthorne's heroine in "The Scarlet Letter", Hester Prynne.

"A Disastrous Second Marriage and Decade of Recovery. Mary was married three times: first about 1641 to Robert Beedle, fisherman-farmer, by whom she had daughter Elizabeth, wife of Peter Staples, and son Christopher; second to the Reverend Stephen Batchelder, sixty years her senior, who was the founder in 1638 of Hampton, New Hampshire, and its Congregational Church from which he was ousted after a feud with his assistant minister and the solicitation of his neighbor's wife while he was still married; third in 1657 to Thomas Turner who sold the Beedle homestead to Peter Staples in 1674. The first and third marriages were quiet, so prosaic that Mary would have died an obscure woman had she been limited to their experiences.

"Documented events of the decade between 1647 and 1657 tell the story of Mary's tempestous second marriage. In 1646-1647, the Rev. Batchelder, barred from preaching in the Massachusetts Bay Colony because of repeated dissention in former parishes, moved in with his grandson and godchild, Stephen Sanborn, two farmsteads below Mary Beedle on the Piscataqua River in Kittery. Mary soon became his housekeeper, an arrangement that disconcerted the neighbors, as Batchelder later reported to Gov. Winthrop. The situation was rectified by the two joining in marriage, exact date unknown because Batchelder, who performed the ceremony, failed to publish it, an omission for which he was fined 10 pounds, reduced later to five. On Feb. 14, 1648 the farmstead of her late husband Robert Beedle was confirmed to Mary by the Town of Kittery. On Oct. 15, 1650, at Georgeana (York) court, widower (and next-door neighbor) George Rogers and Mary Batchelder were presented for "incontinency for living in one house together and lieing in one room". A year later on Oct. 15, 1651 in the same court they were presented for adultry and were sentenced to receive 40 stripes save one, she to receive hers at the first Kittery town meeting 6 weeks after delivery of her child, and she also was to be branded with the letter "A" (worn on the garment). The court also ordered the Batchelders to live together as man and wife. Instead, the Rev. Batchelder took refuge with his grandson in Hampton. In 1651 Mary's daughter, named Mary, was born. The latter eventually married William Richards, a currier from Portsmouth, N. H., and lived a solid churchgoing life in that community.

"On Oct. 14, 1652, Mrs. Batchelder was presented at the district court for entertaining idle people on the Sabbath (possibly haeassed Quakers). On Nov. 16, 1652, Mary signed the Certificate of Submission, the only woman signer along with 40 leading male citizens. That document, which was endorsed under threats by the stronger Puritan government of Mass. to use its militia unless Maine succumbed peacefully, turned Maine over to the jurisdiction of the Mass. Bay Colony. Maine was not to regain its independence until 1820. That Mary was chosen to inscribe the treaty is some indication of her stature in the community. She penned her own signature, an act only half the subscribers could do.

"Mary, husbandless in fact if not in law, in a frontier settlement with two children, acquired land by grant in 1653, and by lawsuit in 1654. Then in June 1654 the York court ordered Thomas Hanscom, age 31, "not to live with" Mary Batchelder. Further investigation reveals Mary's plight. At the Oct. 1651 adultery trial both she and the Rev. Batchelder sought divorce but were denied it. By the time Hanscom was living with Mary, her legal husband was in England where he remained until his death at age 99.

"Mary had found an attractive man from the Hanscom shipbuilding family, but was barred legally from marrying him. Finally, in 1656 Mary solved her dilemma. In this year she appealed to the Mass. General Court to obtain a divorce and remarry. She apparently obtained it, for she married Turner a year later. The substance and eloquence of her plea is moving. She tells the court that she does not want to live on the "common charity of others", that her husband is in England married to a fourth wife, that she needs her freedom to remarry for assistance in rearing two ailing children and preserving her estate. She is saying give Maine liberty and I will not be a welfare case. She achieved her goals, gained a husband more her age, saw two daughters married well, and conserved her estate which she passed on to her son-in-law, Peter Staples. Connection of Mary Batchelder with Hester Prynne. For his services as a Mass. Bay Colony commissioner, Capt. William Hawthorne, immigrant ancestor of distinguished novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne, was rewarded with 870 acres of prime land on the Piscataqua River three farms north of Mary Batchelders. Years later, Nathaniel Hawthorne, noted as an avid scholar of colonial history, soaked up local history during extended visits to the Kittery area. His journal does not mention the name of Batchelder, but does note a young woman doomed to wear the letter "A" on the breast of her gown under an old colony law as punishment for adultery. A book (1) published at the time of the Eliot centenniel in 1910 states that Mary Beedle Batchelder was the woman upon whom Hawthorne patterened the heroine of the "Scarlet Letter". The description of Hester Prynnes's cottage closely parallels that of Mary on what was to become the Staple property. The evidence is strong that Hester Prynne was a character derived from Hawthorn's extensive knowledge of the history of Kittery in Colonial times. Hester was a victim of Puritan intolerance in Boston, Mary of Cavalier justice at old York.

"Hester and Mary were both strong, self-reliant, and iron-willed but with different styles. Mary was an outspoken battler, active in community affairs, aggressive in managing her estate and seeking a new husband. Hester was quiet, reserved, accepting her penance of loneliness gracefully apart from the village in an isolated cottage, graciously defiant with her aristocratic bearing, calmness of speech, and pride in self-support by needlework. Both won community respect but by different means.

"Literary and social critics have assessed Hester's conduct for almost 130 years. The orthodox Puritans among them have said the stain of sin persists, its permanent effect warping. Others, notably Mark Van Doren, have hailed Hawthorne as the Homer of ancient New England, and Hester as its most heroic creature, almost a goddess. In between these extremes some have said Hester expiated her sin, gained wisdom, self-knowledge, spiritual power, and hence greatness. Others have said that society sinned more than Hester by overpunishment of one who responded to a natural urge. Others say that sin is relative, it depends on what the sinner thinks is sinful and what it does to the personality and psychic balance. Virtually all attest to Hester's heroicism in her self-reliance and calm steadfatsness. Mary likewise exhibited self-reliance and steadfastness; she, too, was of heroic proportions. 		BAILY, Mary Magdalene

That her maiden name was Bailey is by no means certain. If the name is correct, could she have been a sister of Richard Bailey who was the servant of Stephen Bachiler's step-son-in-law Richard Dummer?

In October, 1656, Mary Beetle Bachiler petitioned the Court, in the following words, to free her from her husband, Rev. Stephen Bachiler:

"To the Honored Governor, Deputy Governor, with the Magistrates and Deputies at the General Court at Boston:

The humble petition of Mary Bachelor sheweth--Whereas your petitioner, having formerly lived with Mr. Stephen Bachelor, a minister of this Collany, as his lawfull wife, and not unknown to divers of you, as I conceive, and the said Mr. Bachelor, upon some pretended ends of his owne, hath transported himself unto ould England, for many yeares since, and betaken himself to another wife, as your petitioner hath often been credibly informed, and there continueth, whereby your petitioner is left destitute, not only of a guide to her and her children, but also made uncapable thereby of disposing herselfe in the way of marriage to any other, without a lawful permission; and having now two children upon her hands, that are chargeable unto her, in regard to a disease God hath been pleased to lay upon them both, which is not easily curable, and so weakening her estate in prosecuting the means of cure, that she is not able longer to subsist, without utter ruining her estate, or exposing herself to the common charity of others; which your petitioner is loth to put herself upon, if it may be lawfully avoided, as is well known to all, or most part of her neighbors. And were she free from her engagement to Mr. Bachelor, might probably soe dispose of herselfe, as that she might obtain a meet helpe to assist her to procure such means for her livelyhood, and the recovery of her children's health, as might keep them from perishing; which your petitioner, to her great grief, is much afraid of, if not timely prevented. Your petitioner's humble request therefore is, that this Honored Court would be pleased seriously to consider her condition, for matter of her relief in her freedom from the said Mr. Bachelor, and that she may be at liberty to dispose of herselfe in respect of any engagement to him, as in your wisdomes shall seem most expedient; and your petitioner shall humbly pray.

MARY BACHELER. 		BAILY, Mary Magdalene
