| Note | The pedigree of the this family traces Henry Adams, according to one account, to Ap Adam, the father of John, or Lord Ap Adam. who was called to parliment by King Edward I., as Baron of the Realm, from 1296-1301, and states that he came out of the marches or borders of Wales into Devonshire. This statement has been discredited by genealogists, though proof of error seems as much wanting as proof of correctness. If correct, the lineage includes Kings of England and France, and goes back to Charlemagne. Henry Adams, immigrant ancester, was born in England, and came from Braintree, England, to Braintree, Mass. ( now Quincy ), about 1632-33. He was allotted fourty acres of land for the ten persons in his family, Feb 24, 1639-40. 2nd President, John Adams, a descendant, believed that Henry Adams came from Devonshire, and erected a monument to him in the old buring-ground at Braintree, with the inscription, "IN memory of Henry Adams, who took flight from the dragon of persecution in Devonshire, England, and alighted with eight sons near Mount Wallaston. One of the sons returned to England; and after taking time to explore the country, four removed to Medfield, and two to Chelmsford. One only, Joseph, who lies at his left hand, remained here - an original proprietor in the township of Braintree." The monument commemorates "the piety, humility, simplicity, prudence, patience, temperance, frugality, industry and perserverance" of the Adams ancestors. 6th President, John Quincy Adams, however, dissented from the conclusion of his father that Henry Adams was from Devonshire. Savage agrees with the younger Adans that the immigrant was from Braintree, County Essex, England and some of the sons were from Chelmsford, England. It is generally believed that the wife of Henry returned to England with the daughter Ursula, and died there. In Henry Adams' will, proved 6/7/1647, he mentions sons Peter, John, Joseph, Edward, Samuel, and daughter Ursula. |
