Random question- I keep running into a different set of parents for the Thomas Adams who married Elizabeth Brunson...but no actual proof of either except it seems odd this profile lists William Eugene Adams as the confident biological father of Thomas Adams III ...
Other parents I have seen listed most commonly are Elizabeth Johns and John Adams.
I missed this comment initially and when I look back I can see where persons were shuffled around by other members without leaving a note or a message after I adopted the unsourced,orphaned profile that was erroneously connected to the President John Adams, at one time.
I sent an email explaining some things and welcoming your contributions should you have the time and sourcing readily available- I honestly live collaborating,especially when I can learn from the contributions.
Cheers!

Some trees have him born in Newport, Essex. This probably needs a whole lot of research from the ground up.
