The following child is listed becasue he was named as a survivor of Franklin Pierce Adams per his obituary. Obituary states he had a 2 year old son Jesse Williams Adams, but that seems rather implausible (but not impossible) given the fact that Franklin would have been 68 at the time of Jesse's birth, and his wife Nellie would have been 66. Any help in regard to Jesse would be welcomed.
