I'm trying to do some research on my ancestor Samuel Adams, of Maine. I'm not sure how accurate reports are, but in many cases online trees place him as the son of John Adams, of Compton Dundon, who is often listed as the husband of Katherine Adams, which we have here.

The parents online for John Adams, of Compton Dundon are often split, with these two families:
* William Adams, of Trent & Somerton & Elizabeth (Alice) Adams
* John Adams, of Barton St. David & Agnes Adams

So I thought I would bring it up so that it can be discussed more so proper notes can be added to the profiles.

I have been doing some research into a different Adams line, but it looks line ours could have come from the same area in England. My Adams were from Butleigh, which is about ten miles south of Shepton Mallet in Somerset. R.C. Senior in Butleigh has transcribed all the parish records since the 16th C. and has created likely family lines from them: http://butleigh.org/butleighpeople/ButleighpeopleA.html (scroll down to Adams). Also, you can find other Somerset parish records here: http://wsom-opc.org.uk/
