Research Notes

• Gravestone says birthdate is 15 June 1819 with an image is available. FamilySearch births and baptisms index record says 25 June 1818, but there is no image available.^[3]
• Source says his immigration date is 1864, but the source seems pretty derivative ^[4]
• Notes on Census:
  • Conflation Warning:The David Adamson, of the same age, who resides in Dumferline, Fife in 1841 and 1851 is not the correct one since he is married to Isabella
  • In 1851, David and Jane Adamson are residing on North Street in St Andrws-St L'nards, Fife. His birth place is given as St Andrews Parish, wife was born in Benholm.
  • Haven't found in 1861 census. Perhaps he was already on the move.
