Biography

This is circumstantial evidence and needs more work. I have thought Jesse was William Adams son, but it looks like William may have been his Father in law according to Find a grave.

The freespace below has good sources for descendants of stephen, but Ancestors need some work. I think there are two families or two generations mixed.
