The boy, however, could not be pacified at home and followed on, up beyond Lexington. While crossing one of the hills he met Elizabeth Perry, crying and running from her blazing home.

### Discrepancies to resolve
- **Anne Adams Tufts:** her death is given as Feb. 7, 1813 (Wyman p.965) and as February 17, 1813 (Jones p.129). Her father is given as "of Quincy" (Jones p.129) and as Joseph Adams of Cambridge (Tufts Family History p.28).
- **Albert C. Tufts (Sacramento):** the city-directory lines are quoted from OCR, and the printed directory pages are not yet captured. The secondary items and the unverified items are listed on the 19th Century page.
- **Death year of Peter Tufts Jr. (b. 1753):** Wild, p. 52, prints "died 1836". Secondhand web sources give 1832 for DAR ancestor A116812. Wyman, p. 965, gives no death date in the Peter 38 entry. **Unverified until a primary record is found.**
