Abigail (Cobb) Adams Hale - Abigail Cobb Adams Hale, wife of Samuel Adams and Richard Hale

A very circuitous route led me into the Adams family where I found a lot of duplicate trees and many places where there were no sources and questionable data, which was surprising.

I have done many merges and tried to resolve data and tree conflicts in the Adams and Cady families. I also touched the LYON family AND a LYONS family of Hallsville, Ohio. There are online trees that confuse Sophia Lyon, daughter of Seth Lyon and Hepzibah Johnson (my cousin) with Sophia Lyons Ponsler, born in Ross County, Ohio.

There were issues with Abigail, the wife of Samuel Adams. Some trees had her as the daughter of a Samuel Adams and Elizabeth Cady. Other trees had her married to a third husband ? Joseph Strong. I disconnected him and it does not show up in Revisions, due to the various merges. I'm fairly sure she had only two husbands, Samuel Adams and Richard Hale, and that she was the daughter of Gideon Cobb.

I'd appreciate eyes on the Adams tree and additional sources and work on Overviews, if there are any descendants who want to ensure this tree is improved.

Contact me or another curator for early New England if you need assistance.
