Eleanor and John Adams should probably be PGM

Anderson in the GMD places the immigration of Robert Adams of Newbury in 1638, and his son Isaac who died in 1714 was said to be 75, placing his birth about 1639, probably in Salem. Robert's 1681 will names his son John Adams as his eldest son, which means that Robert apparently married in England and was accompanied to America by his wife Eleanor and son John. Robert is already managed by PGM, but Eleanor and John should be also. Once Eleanor is adopted by PGM, her LNAB should probably be changed to Unknown -- there appears to be no evidence for the claimed name of Wilmot.

I added the project for both Eleanor and son John. What about daughter Joanna who also shows an England birth? There is also a daughter Alice shown, with a birth year in 1635 in London. Are both profiles attached to the correct father?

The 1900 Robert Adams family genealogy shows Joanna born "in England, about 1633-4," but it cites no sources. She married Launcelot Granger at Newbury in January 1653 (Newbury VR), so she was probably born no later than 1636 or so, and thus she should probably be PGM. That volume does not show an Alice Adams as a member of the family, and her profile is basically unsourced, so unless a source can be found, she should probably be detached.
