Note

• "Dr. Samuel Adams was a physician of Truro before the revolutionary war. He was born in Killingly, Conn., in 1745, studied medicine under Dr. Nathaniel Freeman of Sandwich, and went to Truro, where in 1774, he was appointed one of the committee of correspondence. He was an ardent patriot, and when the conflict began he entered the service as a surgeon, serving through the war with distinction. Upon leaving service, he settled in Ipswich, where he engaged in the practice of his profession until 1789, when, marrying Abigail Dodge, he removed to Bath, Maine, where he continued to practice until his death in 1819. Doctor Adams was a man of ability, and was highly respected in the communities where he successively resided. That he was twice married is certain. His first wife, Abigail, died July 8, 1774, in her 24th year, at Truro, where a stone marks her resting place, and that of her infant child, who died July 31, 1774, aged four weeks. Dr. Adams had several children" (Thirteen to be exact)
