Our Adams Cousins - LaneastThere are a number of cousin families which descend from John Adams and his two wives Joan Hill and Sarah Bath. The parish of #6 Tremaine is where it is recorded that John Adams married Joan Hill and the parish of #9 Egloskerry is where it is recorded that John Adams married Sarah Bath. John's parents were John Adams and English Chubb. John names his first daughter and child after his mother, English Chubb. Thus we will begin setting out our Adams cousins on this page with English Adams. As will be seen in the provided pedigree which follows, English Adams marries Nevill Northey by whom she has a number of children (cousins). Later after the death of Nevil Northey, now English Northey nee Adams again marries John Evans. Her father's will actually names her in that will as 'copied' as Inglish Even. John's second child and daughter was Mary Adams married William Smieth/Smeeth. Elizabeth Adams married Thomas Vosper, who some will place the additional name of William upon. Joan Adams/Addams married William Peardon of North Petherwin who is according to her father's will daughter Joan Pardon. And finally George Adams is listed as having married Margaret Brown of Altarnun. |

The irregular spacing of these spread out children brings into question a few matters.
First the confidence that these are William and Mary's children of the samd parentage is
lessened. I would have to be wondered just what William Smeeth's profession was that might
contribute to the pattern and or whether there are other children missing from the obvious
gaps where presently no child bearing seems to be taken place. And lastly what was the
health and marrital status which may have continbuted to this pattern if it does stand to
be true of this family.
