It would be worth seeing the microfilm of Torrey's manuscript for his sources. Does he cite Andrew Adams' genealogy (source listed above)? If not, it may be independent corroboration of the Rockwood record. This work is not sourced, but was reportedly compiled from family records of various lines. It references parents for Lydia Rockwood.

Abstract: survey of secondary sources: "none ...contains any documentation". No record of marriage. Edward and Lydia Adams in Medfield 1653 until she died 1676, 14 children. Will of James Penniman does not name all his children, specifically not Lydia. Mother's will says Lydia Adams but does not name husband. Edward Adams guardian in 1681 of John and Nathaniel, sons of Nicholas Rockett. No conclusive primary evidence. "Excellent reputation of the late Mr. Bartlett ... low repute of the work of the Rev. Abner Morse" suggests "likely to be correct" that Edward Adams' wife was Lydia Penniman.
