Notes:

BIRTH: Henry Adams of Barton St. David signed a mar lic on 27 Aug 1574, and on 25 May 1586 Henry Adams of Barton St. David, aged 55 years, testified in the Bishop's Consistory Court (J. Gardner Bartlett, HENRY ADAMS OF SOMERSETSHIRE [New York, 1927], 32-33, 35-36 [FHL #929.273 Ad17bj]). Hence, the calculated birth year of 1531. Bartlett seems to make Henry a son of John Adams based solely on the fact that he is the only Adams on the 1539 muster roll of the tithing of Barton St. David (Bartlett, HENRY ADAMS, 27). He calls widow "Alys" Adams of the 1542/3 subsidy roll of Barton St. David the likely widow of John (Ibid, 28). While these conections seem possible, the evidence appears inconclusive.
DEATH: No death/bur rec found. Barton St. David par regs are lost for the period. No BTs have survived for 1596. See the adm of estate of Henry Adams, 12 Aug 1596, Diocesan Registry Bath and Wells (Bartlett, HENRY ADAMS, 37-38). Records of this court were destroyed in 1942.
