https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LY9Z-9CK shows this Matthew but someone has added another set of parents.

I am interested because this is showing as my 7th great grandfather.

Consistency Check: Susannah Adams (Wood) is under 12 years old for the birth of her child Matthew Adams.
Matthew Adams is under 12 years old for the birth of his child Luke Adams

The birth and death dates for Matthew make me think he is likely to have fought in the Revolution?
Neither of these men appear to be him:

At the very least, Susannah Adams 's DOB needs correction as she is showing as just five years older than him.

Thank you
