    Notes 
    • Albert Butterfield Adams was a descendant of Samuel Adams. John Adams, President of United States was also a descendant of this line.

      Lucy Swain Merriam was raised by a Massey, possibly Baker or Johnathan Massey, after her mother Betsy died. Mae Merriam Porter writes: "With the help of Almira and Aunt Susanna, the oldest ones, he kept the family together, excepting Aunt Lucy who was taken by a Massey to New York (state) to live. She was brought up there and married Uncle Louis B. Adams."

      Also, records of Solon Massey have Oct 24, 1818 for birth date of a Lucy Massey. Marriage dates differ too. Lucy Massey is Nov 7, 1842 and Lucy Merriam Feb 20, 1845.

      In 1845, Lucy Merriam married Albert Butterfield Adams. They had three children, the first son dying in infancy. They moved from New York, USA to CANADA near where her father, Johnson, lived. Their son, Albert W. Adams, went to college in Belleville, Ontario and took up the study of medicine.

      Lucy and Albert then moved to Charlotte, Michigan, USA, and Albert entered Ann Arbor University and graduated with an MD in pharmacy.
