Eleanor Wilmot
Our ancestor Eleanor Wilmot (Adams), her husband Robert Adams, and some of their children emigrated from England to Massachusetts during the Great Migration decade (the 1630s). The precise date is unavailable, so which children accompanied them is not known at this time.
Eleanor and her husband, Robert, were part of the puritanical, idealistic Righteous Generation. Her first seven children were part of the reactive, nomadic Cavalier Generation; her last three children were part of the heroic, civic-minded Glorious Generation.
