25 MAY 1716 – John Adamson and Ann Skuse Confirmed Intention of Marriage
At a monthly meeting held at Newton, the 14th day [25] of the 3rd month [May], 1716, John Adamson and Ann Skuse, the second time, presented their intentions of marriage with each other. When enquiries were made concerning their clearance, nothing stood against them, so the meeting consented to their marriage. Thomas Stokes and Samuel Lippincott were appointed by the meeting to attend their wedding (Haddonfield Monthly Meeting Minutes: 1710-1731, p. 36). Some marriage certificates for the Newton Quakers still exist, but apparently John and Ann's certificate was not preserved as there is no trace of it among the Newton meeting archives. Even though their exact marriage date is unknown, it is known that Quaker marriages generally took place during the meeting for worship and within two months following the announcement of intent. Therefore, it is likely that John and Ann were wed around the 5th month [July], 1716. There is no trace of John or Ann's presence in New Jersey prior to their marriage announcement, 20 April, 1716. They were both the first individuals present in New Jersey to carry the surnames Adamson and Skuse.

A record of John and Ann's confirmed intention of marriage was also recorded in the Haddonfield Monthly Meeting Women's Minutes. Recorded the same day, the 14th day [25] of the 3rd month [May], 1716, John Adamson and Ann Skuse signified their continued intentions of marriage. When enquiries were made concerning their clearance, nothing stood against them, so the meeting consented to their marriage. Mary Haines and Elizabeth Braddock were appointed by the meeting to attend their wedding. Unlike the Men's Minutes, the Women's Minutes spelled Ann's surname Skuce instead of Skuse (Haddonfield Monthly Meeting Women's Minutes: 1705-1769, p. 22).

6 OCT 1733 – John Adamson's Wife Died Leaving a Young Child to Nurse
At the Gwynedd Monthly Meeting, the 25th day [6] of the 7th month [October], 1733, the Gwynedd Monthly Meeting Minutes recorded that John's wife, Ann died, leaving a young child (presumably Simon) to nurse. Being unable to properly care for him, John requested assistance from the meeting. The meeting agreed to contribute forty shillings for their relief (Roberts, 1925, p. 44).

Children:
Thomas Adamson Sr. (1718-1790)
Betty Adamson (1719 - Unk)
Hester Adamson (1721- Unk)
John Adamson (1726-1810)
Ann Adamson (1728-Unk)
Susanna Adamson (1730-Unk)
Simon Adamson (1733-1812)
