Subject: William, Earl, Jack ADAMS, & CUNHA family, MASS/RI
Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2000 21:16:52 EST
I was told an interesting story today while attending a funeral. This was
told to me by the daughter of Willam Adams listed below.
I was told:
William Adams b. 1888 Ireland and his brothers Earl and Jack ran away from
home, in Mass., when they were in their teens. They hopped a freight train
and there was an accident and Jack lost his leg.
Unable to return to their home they were taken in by a family named Cunha.
(spoken coonya, I am guessing on the spelling).
I was also told that William Adams came from Concord Mass., to
Cambridge/Somerville Mass., to Pawtucket/Central Falls, RI
If any part of this story sounds familar please let me know.
