Descendants
More detailed version of the descendants, condensed in the article today.

Tim's side
Tim married four times, losing three of his wives to illness. He had four children with second wife Bessie (née Reeves): Lewis, Gertrude, Julia, and Arthur.
 * Lewis Adams, m. May Edwards (no offspring, but largely parented their great nephew Lewis Yerloburka O'Brien)
 * Gertrude Adams, m. William Williams {
 * four boys
 * Georgina Yambo Williams (1940–), activist and elder, "Clan-to-Country Custodian Southern/Northern Kaurna (Yerta), Parnka/Ramindjeri to Narungga/Adjadhura", who was "probably first to call for the revival" of the Kaurna language in the mid-1980s, and largely responsible for the creation of Tjilbruke Dreaming Track (1986–2006)
 * Julia Adams (b. 1876 at Poonindie), m. Henry Simpson in 1903; three daughters
 * Vera Constance Simpson (b.1904)
 * Gladys Florence Simpson (1907-1944), — 7 children, 2 by Ernest O'Brien, including
 * Lewis Yerloburka O'Brien (1930–)
 * Ethel Simpson (b. 1916)
 * Arthur "Bishop" Adams, m. Mary Simms (no surviving offspring)

Tom's side
Tom Jnr had 5 sons, all with no offspring. These must have included eldest grandchild William Adams, who gave evidence at the 1913 South Australian Royal Commission on the Aborigines, and Charlie Adams (died 1949), who continued to put in claims to Section 346 at Skillogalee Creek his whole life, but unsuccessfully.

Tom Jnr also had 4 daughters, who married and took the names Angie, Sansbury, Wilson, and:
 * 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; 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) (sister to Vince Copley)
 * Vince Copley (1936-2022), activist, leader, and elder; youngest of five children (Winnie, Josie, Colin, and Maureen); a much younger cousin of Elphick (he called her "Aunty Glad")

Family movements
Henry 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. Lewis O'Brien spent time in foster care as a teenager, and went to live with his "Auntie Glad" (Gladys Elphick) in Thebarton when he was 18 (around 1948).
