(Salem, MA, 1924-28), 2:47, indicates he was born in 1601. No sources are cited (FHL #974.45/S1 H2ps). Charles H. Pope, PIONEERS OF MASSACHUSETTS (Boston, 1900), 11, states he was 81 yrs old at death, contrary to published gravestone inscription (FHL #974.4 D3p). Andrew N. Adams, A GENEALOGICAL HISTORY OF ROBERT ADAMS (Rutland, VT, 1900), 1, states that Robert was born in England in 1602. The tradition that he came from Devonshire, son of Robert and Elizabeth (Sharlon) Adams, is also recited (FHL #929.273 Ad17ad). No proof has been found. Another tradition is that he came from Holderness, Yorks.
    MAR #1: No mar rec found. "Ellnar w. Robert Adams" died at Newbury, 12 Jun 1677 (VITAL RECORDS OF NEWBURY, 2 vols. [Salem, MA, 1911] 2:534 [FHL #974.45/N1 V28v]).
    MAR #2: Ibid, 2:13. The wife is called Sarah "Short." She was apparently the widow of Henry Short who died at Newbury, 5 May 1673 (Ibid, 2:719). Henry Short and Sarah Glover were married at Newbury, 9 Oct 1648 (Ibid, 2:449).
    DEATH: VITAL RECORDS OF NEWBURY, 2:536. Also see the will of Robert Adams of Newbury, 7 Mar 1680/1, proved 28 Nov 1682, published verbatim in NEHGR, 9 (1855):126 (FHL #974 B2ne). Also see the inv of estate, 3 Nov 1682, Essex Co. Probate, (o.s.) 302:29 (FHL #860485).
