Henry ADAMS
(UNKNOWN - Bef 8 Oct 1646)
Much information on this line, at least down 4 generations, came from"History of Our Branch of The Adams Famiy" by John Hamilton Adams,1886. Digitized at ancestry.com and is FHL US/CAN 929.213 Ad17L. Notproven unless otherwise cited.
He said that Henry left a will, probated at Boston, June 8, 1647, inwhich mention is made of five of his sons, his wife (whose name is notstated), and his only daughter Ursula. An abstract of this will may beseen in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, vo. vii,page 35. Further, it is believed that the widow and daughter returnedto England, accompanied by the son John, shortly after the death ofHenry, and that they (the mother and daughter) never returned toAmerica, as no trace of them can be found since the death of Henry.John, however, married his wife Ann, in England, and had a daughterborn there, returned to America about 1650, and settled in Concord,Mass."
Abstract of his will was inserted here into the book:
"First, my will is, that my sonne Peter and John, and my dau. Vrsula,shall have the ground in the Neck, both vpland and meddow, during theterme I was to enjoy it, vntil it returne into the townes hands againefrom whom I had it. Also the Aker in the Mill fields. My will is, thatmy bookes shall be divided amongst all my Children; that my wife shallhave and Enjoy all my other Goods so Longe as shee liveth vnmarried.And if she marry, then my will is yt Joseph, Edward, and my dau.Vrsula, should enjoy all my ground in the field that lyeth in the wayto Waymouth ferry, and my house Lott, with all the houses and fruittrees, and all my moveables, at the death or marriage of my wife;Provided, they and their mother shall pay to my sonne Samuel that wchis due to him for the ground I bought of him, to be payd in Convenienttyme.
