  3. No death record is found for Martha. As this gravestone clearly says, it is not the wife of Daniel Adams, but David Adams, and so is another Martha, Martha (McClure) Adams, see p. 529 of the Adams Genealogy cited above. But the name David on the gravestone, easily read, does not prevent the memorial page from asserting the gravestone belongs to Daniel's wife and claiming the birthdate of Martha Watkins as well as several of her children.
