Thomas Adams was born about 1695. Researchers theorize that Thomas might have been a grandson or great-grandson of Henry Adams of Braintree (1634), however, this has not been well documented. Thomas Adam's marriage record states that he was from Colchester, Connecticut, but he certainly was born somewhere else and moved to Colchester as one of the early settlers. Thomas Adams married Sarah Collins on 6 August 1715 in Lynn, Essex, Massachusetts.
