I am looking for opinions on how I should present "my case" to the GSMD. I have one link that is being questioned because I am missing a document that clearly identifies Mehitable Adams as being the same wife of Miles Jones. (This is the Chilton line btw). Mehitable was the dau of Samuel Adams and Sarah Clark. This is what I have: Birth record for Mehitable Adams has year of birth 1771 or 72 (Vital records compiled by Elizur Yale Smith says 1771, Birth record from town clerk has 1772. Death record for Mehitable Jones, died 1812 age 41 which would confirm the dob of 1771. Miles Jones husband of Mehitable signed as administrator bond on Mehitable Adams probate. So far no other probate records found. Elmer Shepard records from Berkshire County, MA list wife of Miles Jones as Mehitable Adams. Mehitable and Miles Jones are buried next to Samuel and Sarah Adams in a small graveyard in Otis, MA. I found one DAR application with a date of marriage and I am waiting for DAR to send me the source of that date. There is no marriage record for either Mehitable Adams or for Miles Jones. My line from Samuel Adams up to Chilton is solid and from Mehitable and Miles Jones to me is very well documented. So what is the best way to present my evidence to clearly state my case? And is that permissable? Your help is appreciated. Judy Genealogy Home http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wefamily/
