Today, we continue with the great grandchildren born to Loyalist John Adams’ and Sarah Coley’s grandchildren through William Segee and their daughter Hannah ‘s children and the children of their son Daniel, who married Sarah Ives.

NOTE: First and foremost, this is still a work in progress. It’s been at least 20 years since I did a major revision on this family. Many records have been found in that time that tidy up a lot of dates and places, many of which came from family records.

If you are a descendant of John Adams and Sarah Coley and can fill in any more of the question marks, please leave a comment.
