THOMAS ADAMS 1758-1858
GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES
The following notes, which the Rev. Dr. Newton compiled from town records, church records, and family records, visiting every household, and corresponding with the families which had left town, are remarkable for their painstaking thoroughness. The few omissions of expected dates and names emphasize rather than detract from the general excellence. If errors are found, notification to the Vermont Historial Society will make permanent record of the correction.
In order to conform to standard genealogical practice, hyphens have been inserted between two or more given names, which does not imply that these names were so written, but merely avoids the possibility of confusing given and family names.
The casual reader, the historian, and the statistician, may find here more than a little that is interesting and instructive; interspersed with the dull and steady march of long past births, marriages and deaths are occasional flashes of color, glimpses of permanent vitality, the music of life's parade. Ed.
