Margaret (per her obituary) died at the home of her son, Capt. Thomas Adams in Burrell Twp.; she was survived by Thomas and two daughters (Eleanor and either Mary or Sarah, I am not sure which).
The Blairsville Cemetery records report:
ADAMS, w/o b. Huntingdon C, lived Blairsville, died 28 Jan. 1863, aged 77y 6m.
This calculates to a birth month/year of July 1785.

DEATH OF MRS. ADAMS--It becomes our painful duty at this time, to record the death of Mrs. Margaret Adams, mother of our highly esteemed fellow citizen Capt. Thos. Adams, who died at the residence of her son in Burrell Township on Wednesday Jan 28th.
