Anna Adams married in Suffield, CT, April 4, 1753. Her husband, Freegrace Adams, was induced against his wishes by his step-mother to sign a note for her son, his half-brother Samuel, the mother's favorite. Samuel failed, and Freegrace was obliged to give up one-half his Suffield farm. He accordingly decided to go to Marlboro, Vt., in 1774 when his daughter Lovisa was fourteen years old. Anna died when she was seventy-seven years old and could still read fine print. Freegrace died when he was ninety-two.
(From "The King Family of Suffield, Connecticut", compiled by Cameron Haight King, in 1908)

Anna Adams married in Suffield, CT, April 4, 1753. Her husband, Freegrace Adams, was induced against his wishes by his step-mother to sign a note for her son, his half-brother Samuel, the mother's favorite. Samuel failed, and Freegrace was obliged to give up one-half his Suffield farm. He accordingly decided to go to Marlboro, Vt., in 1774 when his daughter Lovisa was fourteen years old. Anna died when she was seventy-seven years old and could still read fine print. Freegrace died when he was ninety-two.
(From "The King Family of Suffield, Connecticut", compiled by Cameron Haight King, in 1908)
The Marlboro manuscript history (kept in Montpelier, Vt.) states that Freegrace Adams "came to Marlboro about 1773 and settled on the well known Freegrace Adams farm, now owned by Almerin Ames".
