About Lucretia Colson Williams

The Millennium File marriage records indicate Lucretia Adams (no middle name) and Samuel Williams were married in NC in 1761/1762 and give her birth year as 1744, which seems more plausible than 1737 (which may be the birth year of a Lucretia born in MA who actually was a relative, though not sister, of John Adams), since 18 was a very common age for women to marry.
