The record — long form
Adams is the thrice — the 'escaped three times' that's the stone's story, the 'Louisiana 1766' that's the born enslaved. The 'woods' is the first — the 'Eastern Shore' that's the Maryland flight at 22, the 'husband, children' that's the together. The 'highway' is the almost — the 'Route 146' that's the through the cemetery, the '1995' that's the 31 reinterred.
The 'census' is the listed — the '1850 slave' that's the identified still, the 'openly lived' that's the Uxbridge years. The 'Rev. May' is the moved — the 'station master' that's the Brooklyn CT to Uxbridge, the 'Capron' that's the mill family sheltered. Adams is the documented — the 'Liberator mention' that's the Garrison's paper, the 'letter '38' that's the Clements found.
The file keeps Adams: the three escapes, the highway near-miss, the census listing, and the '95 reburial.
Nancy Adams's grave is the archive's Massachusetts file — thrice free.
