Adams-7745 and Adams-11 appear to represent the same person because: please merge

Smith-130933 and Adams-11 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, and dates. I believe Robin is right by saying that Smith is her married name and she the President's daughter. So, when merged, please make her birth name Adams. Thank you.

Can you explain in her biography why her last name at birth is different than her father's name? I believe this is the daughter of John Adams, second president of the US and her Married name was Smith.
