[Note: Sources conflict on the dob of both Samuel Adams and his wife Mary Burley. Neither birth date can be found in the VR]
[Note: Sources conflict on Samuel's age at death. The Crane text says age at death in 1747 is 71, making his birth more likely 1676.]
[Note: From age at death, Mary more likely born c1688? FAG gives her an 1686 Ipswich dob that is actually recorded in IpsVR as her brother Andrew, not Mary. FAG is unsourced, and there are no matching grave markers for this couple. ]
[ Note: Burleigh Family Test says Mary born in 1696, making her age 10 at the time of her marriage. ? likely a typo]
[Note: Children, all the above texts vary of the births of the children, where possible the Ips VR are used, which recorded more of their baptisms, than births]
[Note: FAG - no marker found, previously indicated Samuel was buried in Highland Cemetery, Ipswich, Essex. Same memorial now says Old Burying Ground, Ipswich. As FAG is entirely unsourced, it likely should not be used]
