- George Thacher Adams (9 Jan 1816-)*

At least two sources give the name of another child, a first-born daughter, Mary Haven Adams but no vital records have been found to substantiate this child.
It should be noted that when Sally Bigelow Thacher died, Joseph married her cousin Sarah Tyler Bigelow. Their mothers, Sarah and Lucy Savage, were sisters with common grandparents of Samuel Phillips Savage and Sarah Tyler.
* According to Totten, George died in his youth away from home. Of him nothing was known by his living family connections (in 1913). The tradition is that he wanted to go to sea and his father not consenting, he ran away when he was 19 years old and was never heard from. "He was a very wild boy."
