Adams-6443 and Adams-6444 appear to represent the same person because: note on 6443 states no Joseph; mis-read for Jasper
posted by Marj Adams
Braintree records--maintained by Henry Adams III himself--do not record the birth of a Joseph Adams on June 23, 1647. The records do show Jasper Adams, having been born on that date.

No other primary source records show Joseph son of Henry and Elizabeth being married, or having children, or dying, either in Braintree or Medfield. Is there any verifiable evidence for his existence??
