Person:Daughter Adams (1)

Her name is often given as Judith, either because her daughter was named Judith or due to a misreading of her father's will (which names her daughter). There does not appear to be any direct evidence of her first name.

   'A Daughter, born about 1579; married about 1598, Roger Warfield of Charlton Adam, Somersetshire, of which parish he was church warden in 1607.' First child (Judith) was born about 1599.

   Bartlett gives the wife of Roger Warfield as the older daughter, probably because her children are mentioned first in her father's will. But her father's will mentions his oldest son after both his daughters, so this might not signify. The will, written in 1603/4, mentions 2 children of Roger Warfield and 3 of Richard French - it would appear that the daughter who married Richard French was likely the elder of the two - otherwise, she would have had to be quite young in order to have had 3 children by 1603/4.
