  • Notes 
    • ITEMS OF ANCESTRY BY A DESCENDANT, IMR, PRIVATELY PRINTED, 1894.
      Includes ADAMS LINEAGE, pages 34-39.

      Page 34: HENRY (1) ADAMS, the senior of this line in America, was among the early settlers. In 1641, he was granted by the town of Boston forty acres in what afterwards became Braintree. As the custom prevailed to grant four acres per head to a family, it is judged that Henry Adams had a wife and eight children. He was buried at Braintree, now Quincy, MA, 8 Oct. 1646. His will was probated in June, 1647, and names five sons and one daughter, vix.:
      Peter, John, JOSEPH, Edward, Samuel and Ursula. The will is printed in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 7 Jan. 1853, vol. vii., p. 35. Three other sons, well known, were not mentioned in the will.
