How can Mehitable be their daughter and not their daughter in law?

Question

How can Mehitable (maiden name Cary whose father was one John Cary who came to America in 1634) who married Elisha, the son of Ens. Edward Adams and Lydia Penniman/Rockwood be their daughter and not their daughter in law?  Mehihitable is not a blood daughter of an Adams!  Please correct me if my familiy tree I had done professionally dating back to Henry Adams is incorrect.  mikeatmyteam@gmail.com

Cary adams who was elishas.wife. the birth dates and other info are different.go back and compare by clicking on elisha and then his wife... not my line so i cant know there were two just going by what i saw.. hope it helps!
