parents, birth date and location, spouse, and “B. F. Greene: 'His home is the place that Samuel Adams settled upon and cleared. He has been throughout a long and useful career, a man of sincere religious convictions, as well as one ac- tively engaged in business, and always taking a keen inter- est in the welfare of the town. His farm has been well tilled, and, as a contracting carpenter, he has erected more buildings than any other who has lived in his locality; his mind is remarkably clear, and he has been very helpful in historical matters.'” in Sinnett ^[5]
