"Anne Adams crossed the ocean on the same ship as James Wilson. She said
that she could look across the Irish Sea from her childhood home inIreland and see linen flying from clotheslines in Scotland on a clearday.
She was never sure whether she came from County Antrim or County Down.She
had the strong religious convictions of her Scotch forbears. Her face hadhard lines with piercing eyes and downward-drawn mouth. Her familyobjected to her marriage with James, a hearty extrovert who was advancingrapidly in a secular career" (August Heckscher).
