- Arthur "Bishop" Adams, m. Mary Simms (no surviving offspring)[1]
Tom's side
editTom Jnr had 5 sons, all with no offspring.[1] These must have included eldest grandchild William Adams, who gave evidence at the 1913 South Australian Royal Commission on the Aborigines,[3][9][10] and Charlie Adams (died 1949), who continued to put in claims to Section 346 at Skillogalee Creek his whole life, but unsuccessfully.[3]

- Maisie May Adams (m. Joe Edwards, a Narungga man, grandson of respected negotiator "King Tommy")
- Katie Edwards (m. Fred Warrior, aka Barney Waria); sisters Amy, Doris, Viney, and Mary (probably others)
- Josie Agius (1934–2016), one of South Australia’s first Aboriginal health workers;[3][8] honoured with the 2014 NAIDOC Award "for improving the lives and welfare of Aboriginal peoples in South Australia" and by the 2017 renaming of Park 22 in the Adelaide Park Lands by the City of Adelaide to Josie Agius Park/Wikaparntu Wirra (Park 22)[11][12] (sister to Vince Copley)[13]

Family movements
editHenry and Julia Simpson first spent two years in Port Pirie, before moving to Wardang Island, and then Point Turton. They were not allowed to stay on at Point Pearce because Henry was a white man (from Echunga), and Julia's multiple requests for land were unsuccessful.[1]
Lewis O'Brien spent time in foster care as a teenager, and went to live with his "Auntie Glad" (Gladys Elphick[e]) in Thebarton when he was 18 (around 1948).[1]

Notes
- ^ See this journal article, p.107-8, for photos taken by Norman Tindale.
- ^ a b Note conflicting accounts between ADB and Uncle Lewis O'Brien - was there another Gertrude somewhere, or is Lewis' account incorrect? Wikitree entry (as does ADB) says that Elphick was daughter of John Herbert Walters, gas meter inspector, and Gertrude Adams, confirmed by Australia Birth Index, 1788-1922 records both Page Number: 208, Volume Number: 734)
- ^ Gladys Elphick (born Walters, then Hughes) moved to Adelaide and lived with her cousin Gladys O'Brien, after her husband's death in 1937.[7] Lewis O'Brien also writes of "Auntie Glad" (Elphick), his mother's cousin, with whom he went to live in Adelaide (p.131 of his autobiography) when he was 18 (i.e. c.1948, and there was Uncle Fred (Elphick - married Gladys in 1940[7]), Granny Gertie, brother Lawrence, and cousin Alfie (See p.3 of his autobiography). He also talks of "Uncle Tim Hughes"[1] (possibly his older cousin? - but only around 11 years older...)
- ^ Lewis never met his father, who left his mother before he was born, and returned to England in 1935, remarried and had a family there.
- ^ Surname confirmed on p.131 of O'Brien's autobiography.
