Biography
Joseph Adams is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A000651.
Son of Deacon John Adams (1684 – 1754) and Elizabeth Goddard (1679 – 1767). He married three times. He had a total of thirteen children with Prudence Pratt and two with Elizabeth Grout per Author, Helen S. Ullmann, CG in Our Adams Line through Henry Adams of Braintree
The following biographical information is from The History of Dublin, 1920:[1]
"Joseph Adams, from Framingham, Mass., m. Prudence Pratt; lived first in Nova Scotia, for a short time, then came to Dublin, the year not ascertained. He lived first on lot 8, range 5, in a house not standing; then in a house on the southern edge of lot 12, range 9, where he died, date not discovered. By his former wife, he had five sons and eight daughters, and by the 2d wife., Widow Dorcas Winship, two daughters." There are fourteen children listed, most without birth dates.
While the above quoted source says he died in Dublin, New Hampshire, the Henry Adams Genealogy claims he went to Maine after residing in Dublin.[2] His son, Elisha Adams, was living in Bethel, Maine in 1800,[3] and shortly thereafter moved to Temple, Maine.
Birth
12 Aug 1723, Framingham, MA, Joseph Adams son to John and Elisabeth Adams[4]
