Bruce Gordon:
Though I can find no evidence he is buried here, and he was enumerated as a Baptist on the 1851/2 Census, it is most likely he is buried here with his late wife and her memorial was broken when transcribed in 1993 and I was unable to locate the fragments in 2016.

Notes |
- (Research):Bathurst Concession 1 Lot 22 SW - William Adams
The patent for Lot 22 Concession 1 Bathurst was granted to William Adams in 1824 and remained in his family until the 1870s. He was recorded as arriving from Ireland (1796) via the United States to Canada (1816). Attempts to identify his family have failed as for a search for the family name of Henrietta, his wife. It appears she lived in or about, Providence Rode Island, United States before coming to Canada with William.
Old Town of Coxsackie
March 24th 1772, the northern par of what is now Greene county was formed into a district called the District of Coxsackie, and it was erected into a town March 7th 1788. Of the public records made during the time it was a district, scarcely a vestige remains, except the laying out of a few roads. The only document which is of a public nature, that has been found, is the assessment roll of the year 1787, and the importance of this, as being the only list of taxable inhabitants of this part of the county at that date, fully justifies us in giving it entire. It includes what are now the towns of Durham, Greenville, Coxsackie, New Baltimore, Athens and Cairo.
A Tax List of the District of Coxsackie, agreeable to a warrant assigned to us the subscribers' assessors of said District, dated the 12th day of June 1787 by the Board of Supervisors for the County of Albany, at 2 1/2 d. on a pound:
