Notes |
- Henry Adams' widow, Edith (Squire) Adams married (2) John Fussell of Weymouth, MA. where he bought the house of Richard Sylvester (1640) of the "Mary & John" of 1630. Fussell was burned in this house by Indians about 1676. He may have come from Somerset, England where the name flourished and had been acquainted with the Adams'es and Squire'es. They had a child, Mary Fussell, who married Nathaniel Adams, 1677. Banks (1937-146) says John Fussel came from Wookey, co. Somerset (2 miles W. of Wells). Banks also claimed Robert Lovell, who came with Rev. Hull's group in 1635, came from this town. John Fussel may have been the son of Thomas Fussel of Wells, whose will was dated 18 Feb 1614/15. He mentions son John in his will. !M&J 17:121
