Could this be son Thomas?  https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K6KC-TYD  If so, it says he was born Tyrone, Ireland.

If that's the right guy, he was Thomas John Adams Jr.  He served in WWI including going overseas from July 1918 to Mar. 1919 and he was born Barnsbourt, Ireland.

Robert's WWI draft registration card, which is at the same address as Thomas' above - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K6KC-TY8

Looks like Fannie's 2nd marriage was in West Virginia in 1948 - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F1FY-1J3

Sons info looks good. Confused with Robert. Date at grave says dob 1887
Military reg 1888. 
I believe Thomas Jr was born in 1887
I found that marriage info too.also confusing. All the info matches
But in the 1930 census they are listed as husband and wife. And have 2 children plus 3 from first marriage.

The address on the WWI draft registration cards for Thomas & Robert matches the address where the family is on the 1910 census.  It's not unusual for years of birth to be off by a year.  This seems to be particularly common among Irish immigrants of the time.

I think this may be the passenger list with Jane & the children - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QVS2-BQRV

I think I found the death certificate for Jane, although the date of birth is off.

Mrs. Jane Adams, died Philadelphia on 15 Aug. 1937.  Residence 1411 N. 29th St.  Widow of Thomas.  Born 12 Aug. 1872 in Ireland.  Parents George Stevenson & Ann Fife, both born Ireland.  Buried Mt. Moriah cemetery.  Informant was Catherine Stuckenschmidt, 22 N. Cole Ave., Maple Shade, New Jersey. 

This looks like informant Catherine/Kathryn with brother Thomas Adams in 1940 - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K454-DJG

Some possible brothers of Jane, who lived in the same place where Jane's older children were born - http://www.rootschat.com/links/01hvn/
