Adams Family Record
This family record was published in the Essex Antiquarian,
Vol. 1, No. 6, 1897, p 92 (Essex County, Massachusetts).
It is difficult to determine which are middle names and which
are surnames. The list below is my guess on this, feel free to
make your own.
These people weren't very creative with the naming. In fact,
it is families like this that make genealogy such a headache.
2 Johns, 2 Sarahs, 2 Abigails, 2 Nathaniels, 2 Susans -- as
a baby died, the next child got the now-unused name.
SURNAMES:
ADAMS
WILDES
