“ There are three ways in which James Oliver could be brother-in-law of George Carr. They may have married sisters, or Carr may have married Oliver's sister, or Oliver may have married Carr's sister. We see, however, that unless Captain James was more than once wedded he did not marry a Carr, and the possibility that he did has no great weight at present. Thomas Dexter may have had a daughter who married Carr, but if anybody has knowledge as to Dexter's family I have failed to see it in print. I have not hunted seriously, however. ”

Quotes from ''Boston Evening Transcript'' ()
“ When Thomas Adams died he owed one Henry Mountford, or Mountfort, of Boston, and on his petition a writ was issued March 13, 1689-99, against the estate of Captain Samuel Adams, who had been administrator of his son Thomas, to recover. In the suit, “Mrs. Mary Smith” deposed as to what she knew about the debt, mentioning her “father-in-law, Captain Samuel Adams of Chelmsford,” and giving her own age as “twenty-three.” This age fits the daughter of Henry Blackmore. ”
“ Under “Adams,” he says Thomas Adams married Mary Blackmore April 28, 1680, and, in his will, devised all to wife, who was daughter of J. Trumbull, and wife of, first, H. Blackmore; second, Adams; third, Dr. J. Smith; 4, Thomas Walker.” This would make her the widow of Blackmore. But under “Blackmore” Mr. Wyman says that Henry married Mary Trumbull, daughter of John Trumbull, Sr., who died May 26, 1671, aged twenty-four, and that her daughter, Mary Blackmore, born Feb. 23, 1666-67, married Thomas Adams, and, later, John Smith and Thomas Walker. ”
