"1. Nathaniel1 Adams, born in England, died at Boston, Mass., in 1675; … a dishturner, was first at Weymouth, Mass., where he had a grant of land in 1642 and became a freeman in 1647. His eldest son was probably born in England and the other four sons in Weymouth, although only Abraham's birth is recorded there. In 1649 he was on a committee to lay out a road from Weymouth to Dorchester. In 1652 he removed to Boston, where he served as Surveyor in 1654 and 1655, Constable in 1657, Water-bailiff in 1663 and 1664, and Clerk of the Markets in 1665 and 1674. He joined the Second Church on 16 Jan. 1658/9. After coming to Boston, he gradually acquired several pieces of land and wharves, so that, at his death, he left each of his sons a house. These were all in the North End. After his widow's death in 1685, his wharves were divided among his four sons, Nathaniel, David, Abraham and Jonathan.
In his will, 14. July 1675, proved 1 Nov. 1675 [Suffolk Prob. Misc.], he named his wife Sarah executrix, with a life interest in his property; his sons Nathaniel, David, Abraham, Jonathan, and Isaac if alive; David's children Sarah and David to have Isaac's share, if he was dead; and Mary Timewell. David and Abraham to be overseers. Witnessed by Richard Smith, John Haywards, and James Couch. The inventory, taken by William Needom and Daniel Turoll, totaled £906-7-10, of which £700 was for land."

"Nathaniel (Adams), Newport 1639, may be [was] that one of Weymouth 1642, wh. had Abraham, b. 16 Jan. 1643. Nathaniel (Adams), Boston, turner, m. 24 Nov. 1652, Elizabeth d. of Philemon Portmort, but whether she d. soon, and he had ano. w. Sarah is wholly uncert. for one Nathaniel of B. d. Oct. 1675, and his w. Sarah d. May 1685."
Savage has five entries for "Nathaniel Adams," but they apply to only three men; Nathaniel1, his son Nathaniel2 and the second Nathaniel's son Nathaniel3. He partially attributes Nathaniel2's wife to Nathaniel1 and, following the erroneous Boston marriage record, calls her "Elizabeth" instead of "Mary" Pormort. He also splits Nathaniel3 into two different men; that Nathaniel married Hannah Wilmot, and then Ann Coolidge. See Mr. Wead's 1954 article for further clarification.
