Fraelich p.10: Thomas Adamson, the oldest child of John and Ann Skew Adamson, was born in Newton Village, Camden, NJ and moved with his parents to Bucks County, PA.
On 15 Sep 1743 Thomas and several of his fellow townsmen signed a petition and presented it to the County Court, requesting that the town of Springfield be incorporated. Before the death of his father, Thomas Adamson had been given the family property. Thomas lived there with his wife, Mary Burson Adamson, until this property was sold. This farm must have been productive as on 17 Oct 1751, Thomas acquired 100 additional acres of ground by warrant of survey from the Pennsylvania Proprietaries. It is probable that Thomas Adamsona and his family lived on the latter property until 1780 when they migrated to Washington County, PA. While in Bucks County, Thomas Adamson and his family hosted Friends Meetings for the Quakers of the locality.
Thomas and Mary Adamson bought land adjoining Fort Swan and moved there about 1780. They later bought a second piece of property near Fort Jackson. Both of these pieces of land were in Washington County, PA at that time. Thomas died at his farm in Washington County, in 1790.
"The Tenmile County and its Pioneer Families", pg. 73; "Thomas Adamson left Bucks County shortly after he sold land in 1775 and he appears on the Tenmile during the period of the revolutionary war. Here he bought a tract of land adjoining Fort Swan. His wife, Mary was granted a certificate from Richland Monthly Meeting to Hopewell Monthly Meeting on 4 Aug 1783, for herself and her three children, Thomas, James and Sarah
