The research of Andrew N. Adams, "A genealogy History of Henry Adams.....," The Tuttle Co., Printers, 1898 shows Pelatiah/Ruth had nine children: Tabitha, Thomas, Ruth, Pelatiah Jr., Samuel, Edith, Elizabeth, Sarah, and Abigail. It also says there was no record that Thos. married and it is probable that he d. unmarr. in Dunstable. Pelatiah's brother Timothy also had a son Thomas. This source says there is neither a birth record nor marr. record for this Thomas but that he died 18 Feb. 1746 in Dunstable, MA. Also that he wed a Judith___? because "....Thomas and Judith quit-claimed their rights and interest in....."

their parents place in Chelmsford. Based on this death date this Thomas (WT#10085) should probably be linked to Timothy and not Pelatiah.

Adams-21229 and Adams-997 appear to represent the same person because: I believe these two profiles represent the same person. The Death dates are the same, and the difference in the birth dates is due to the way in which the birth record is viewed. (6; 1m; 1646) really means March, not January, because before 1752 March was the first month of the year. The names of the children are also found in the Chelmsford birth records.
