ADAMS FAMILY.
1. ARUNAH [6] ADAMS (Lieut. Samuel [5], David [4], Henry [3], Ensign Edward [2], Henry [1]), b. Mar. 15, 1768, Canterbury, Conn. ; d. Apr. 13, 1850, Roy. ; m. Feb. 7, 1793, Patience, dau. of Thomas and Eunice Rix of Griswold, Conn., b. Aug. 7, 1767, Preston, Conn.; d. Sep. 14, 1857, Roy.
Mr. Adams came to Royalton about 1791. In that year he bought a farm of Jonathan Wells. The farm which he tilled for nearly half a century is now owned by Charles Hinkley. For almost sixty years he made Royalton his home, and here all his children were born. He seems to have avoided town office, and little mention is made of him in connection with town business. He was an industrious farmer and worthy citizen. During the first years of his life in town he served as militiaman.
