The pedigree of this family ADAMS traces the ancestry, according to one account to Ap Adam. the father of John or Lord Ap Adam, who was called to Parliament by Edward I, as Baron of the Realm. 1206-1307, and states that he came out of the Marches of Wales into De- vonshire. This statement has been discred- ited by genealogists, though proof of error seems as much wanting as proof of correct- fess. The lineage includes kings of England and France and goes back to Charlemagne.
(I) Henry Adams, the immigrant ancestor. horn in England, came from Braintree, Eng- land. to Braintree. Massachusetts, about 1632- 33. He was allotted forty acres of land for
the ten persons of his family. February 24, 1639-40. President John Adams, a descend- ant, believed that Henry Adams came from Devonshire, and erected a monument to him in the old burying ground at Braintree, now Quincy, with this inscription : "In memory of Henry Adams who took flight from the Dra- gon persecution in Devonshire. England, and alighted with eight sons near Mount Wallas- ton. One of the sons returned to England : and after taking time to explore the country. four removed to Medfield, and two to Chelms- ford. One only, Joseph, who lies here at his left hand. remained here-an original pro- prietor in the township of Braintree." The monument commemorates "the piety. humil- ity. simplicity, prudence. patience. temper- ance, frugality. industry and perseverance of the \dams ancestors." President John Quincy Adams, however, dissented from the conclusion of his father that Henry Adams was from Devonshire. Savage agrees with the younger Adams that the immigrant was of Braintree, county Essex, England. and some of the sons from Chelmsford in that county. It is generally believed that the wife of Henry Adams returned to England with the daughter Ursula, and died there. Henry died at Braintree October 6. 1646, and was buried on the 8th. In his will, proved June 8. 1647. he mentions sons Peter. John. Joseph. Edward, Sammel, and daughter Ursula. Chil- dren. all born in England : Lieutenant Henry. 1604. married November U. 1643. in
