ADAMS No person familiar with the his- tory of Massachusetts but ought as they meet with the family name of Adams to recall in their minds the historic services performed by the various representatives of this family in all of the struggles attending the life of the colony and our nation. The name of Adams was made illustrious by Samuel and John Adams, of revolutionary fame.

(III) John Adams, son of Ensign Edward Adams and grandson of Henry Adams, both of whom have been written up fully in this work, was born in Medfield, Massachusetts, February 18, 1657, died March 1, 1751. He resided in his native town, on the homestead. He married (first) Deborah, born 1662, died before 1695, daughter of John and Magdalen (Bullard) Partridge. Married (second) Sus- anna, born in Sherborn, Massachusetts, May 10, 1667, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Hill) Breck. Medway record says: "Sus- anna, second wife of John, senior, died 28 May, 1744." Among his children was Obadiah, see forward.

(VIII) Nelson, son of Elisha Adams, was born in Hubbardston, Massachusetts, July 6, 1831. At an early age he went to Fitchburg and engaged in chair making for Alonzo Davis, but soon went to be a drover with John Lowe. who had interests in Rindge, New Hampshire, and the Brighton market, near Boston, dealing in cattle, sheep and the celebrated Morgan horses. In the winter he worked in various packing houses in Boston, frequently the fine markets there and becoming familiar with the processes of manufacture, so that when a small branch of the business was for sale in Leo- minster, Massachusetts, he bought it and re- moved to Fitchburg, his first established loca- tion. In 1857 he disposed of the Fitchburg business and went to New Haven, Connecti- cut, driving his own Morgan horses, with his dog following on. He bought out a small business in Fair Haven and established his factory on Goffe street, New Haven, on land leased of Alfred Todd, a prominent market

man of the city, with whom he made his home for a time. He soon had the by-product busi- ness of New Haven county in hand and re- moved to Beaver Pond, where he built a mod- ern factory ; later works were built in Fair Haven, where a warehouse for finished pro- ducts was established. Meanwhile Mr. Adams either bought or established factories in Bridge- port, Waterbury, New York City, Hartford and Springfield, successively, having partners in those different places. The New York plant at 383 West Forty-sixth street was en- tirely wholesale. For over forty years Mr. Adams continued to manufacture, supervise, buy and sell up and down the Atlantic coast from Maine to Delaware, until the refrigerat- ing system came in and the by-products were manufactured by the great western packers there. He had followed the trend of affairs and gradually sold out his factories, occupying himself in manufacturing interests and develop- ing the real estate, which had become yearly more valuable. It was no trifling change that came over this by-product business when west- ern refrigeration became a factor. It reduced the amount of tonnage on coastwise vessels, and interests that stood in its way had to be removed. The fertilizer manufacturing and shipping departments under chemical treat- ment became changed entirely; the western packers having in their hands the ammoniates, and southern establishments took possession of the phosphate deposit mines and a combine came that no individual plant, such as had been established by Mr. Adams, could compete suc- cessfully, hence it required more tact in closing out business without loss than it did to estab- lish them except, perhaps, one or two special- ties and these were not desirable to maintain.

In 1897 Mr. Adams removed with his family to Springfield, Massachusetts, and makes his home on the estate he bought of D. B. Wesson, in the Forest Park district, at "Fountain Side." During all his business transactions, through panics and war, he has preserved his solvency unaided. He is an admirer of nature and the romantic beauty of his well-wooded estate at "Fountain Side," with its abundant flowing springs of water, are a constant joy to the family. He is a member of many societies, such as the American Humane Association. the Connecticut Humane Society, the Connecti- cut Equal Suffrage League, the Seaman's Friend Society, the New England Historical and Genealogical Society, and locally of the Connecticut Valley Historical Society and the Ethical Union.

Mr. Adams married, October 6, 1868, Jennie Edgerton, daughter of Thomas P. and Sarah M. (Parsons) Dickerman, of New Haven, Connecticut. Children : I. Burton Sumner, born in New Haven, Connecticut, August 17, 1869, died January 27, 1878. 2. Grace Eliza- beth, born in New Haven, September 23, 1872 ; married, April 3, 1895, in New Haven, Frank Seaman Valentine, of Freeport, Long Island ; they reside in Springfield; children : Cora Mildred, born March 22, 1897, in Springfield ; Ruby Louise, born January 31, 1904, in Spring- field. 3. Mary Louise, born in New Haven, June 2, 1874, died in Southington, Connecti- cut, October 4, 1874, buried in New Haven.

(II) Lieutenant Henry (2), eld-

ADAMS est child of Henry (1) Adams,

was born in England, in 1604, and came to America with his parents. Three years after his marriage in Braintree, he re- moved and settled in Dedham, incorporated as a town in 1650. The greater part of the build- ings of the town were burned by Indians in King Philip's war, 1676. Lieutenant Henry Adams was first town clerk of Braintree, also of Medfield ; representative of town in general court, 1659-65-74-75. He was lieutenant of the Medfield military company which fought the Indians in 1675-76, and was killed by the Indians while standing in his doorway, Febru- ary 21, 1676, the second year of the war. He married, in Braintree, November 17, 1643, Elizabeth, daughter of Moses Paine, Esq. She was accidentally shot the same day that her husband was killed at Rev. Mr. Wilson's house, and died February 29. She was confined to the house by sickness, and in bed in the cham- ber, when a gun in the hands of Captain John Jacob, of Hingham, who had charge of a com- pany of about eighty men stationed at Med- field, was accidentally discharged in the room below her, the ball passing through her bed. Children : Eleazer, Jasper, Elizabeth, John (died young), and Henry (twins), Moses, Henry and Samuel.

(III) Henry (3), sixth son of Lieutenant Henry (2) and Elizabeth ( Paine) Adams, was born in Medfield, November 15. 1657, and died in 1733, aged seventy-six. He was a repre- sentative in the general court in 1706-09-1I-19- 21-24-28. He married, December 16, 1679. Prudence Frary, born August 20, 1662, died February 20, 1750. She was "a woman of cherished memory." Her parents were John and Elizabeth (Adams) (Harding) Frary.

Children: Prudence, Hannah, Thomas, Jere- miah, Elizabeth, Sarah, and Henry, next men- tioned.

(IV) Henry (4), youngest child of Henry (3) and Prudence ( Frary) Adams, was born in Medfield, May 24, 1702, and died there November 3, 1782. He was appointed coroner for Massachusetts Bay in 1743 by King George III, and was also selectman. His Bible, pub- lished in Edinburgh in 1729, is in the possession of his great-grandson, Henry S. Adams, of Paola, Kansas. He married, August 15, 1726, Jemima Morse, born March 16, 1709, died in 1785, daughter of Hon. Joshua and Elizabeth (Penniman) Morse, of Medfield. Children : Amos, Sarah, Elizabeth (died young) ; Enoch, Elizabeth, Jemima, Lydia, Elijah, Kezia, Sophia and Henry.

(V) Elijah, third son of Henry (4) Esquire and Jemima (Morse) Adams, was born in Medfield, November 14, 1743, and died April 4, 1823. He inherited the homestead in Med- field, was selectman, justice of the peace, and a prominent citizen. He married, in 1766, Abi- gail Chenery, born March 12, 1747, died May 12, 1824. Children: Sarah, Rebecca, Abigail, Henry (died young) ; Elijah, Elisha, Amos, Prudence, Kezia (died young), Jeremiah, Jo- seph, Elizabeth (died young), Martha, Henry, Charles, Jeremiah and Elizabeth.

(VI) Charles Jeremiah, fifteenth child of Esquire Elijah and Abigail (Chenery) Adams, was born in Medfield, October II, 1789, and died March 20, 1848. He was a merchant in Boston. He married (first) Hannah Baker, of Dorchester, died October 23, 1838; (sec- ond) Mary D. Breck, of Milton, died in De .. cember, 1889. Children of first wife: Charles Baker and John (2).

(VII) Professor Charles Baker, elder of the two sons of Charles J. and Hannah (Baker ) Adams, was born in Dorchester, Massachusetts, January II, 1814, and died at St. Thomas, West Indies, January 18, 1853. His tastes led him away from the mercantile pursuits of his father and pointed him toward the life of a scholar. From Dorchester he went to Philips Academy, Andover, and in 1830 he entered the freshman class at Yale. The next year he entercd Amherst College and grad- uated with the class of 1834. His diligence with his endowments enabled him to forge for- ward in scholarship, and his scholarship placed him at the head of his class. With an idea that theology might be the best profession to pursue, he turned his steps toward the Theo- logical Seminary at Andover, and here spent

the first two years of his post-graduate life. In 1836 he was tutor at Amherst College, and during the year gave a course of lectures on geology at Bradford Academy, and assisted President Hitchcock for a brief time in a geo- logical survey in New York state. In 1838 he was called to Middlebury College, Vermont, to take the professorship of chemistry and natural history. While occupying this chair and doing all the exacting work connected with it, he in some way found time for creating a cabinet of natural history which grew to symmetrical proportions. The rocks of the state, the min- erals at hand and far away, the insects of the surrounding country, many of the vertabrates, and especially the mollusks from foreign waters, as well as a complete suite from the state, were collected and here systematized in this museum. Early in the spring of 1845, Governor William Slade appointed Professor Adams at the head of the State Geological Sur- vey, for which the legislature had made an appropriation in 1844. Seven suites of speci- mens were to be assembled for the state; an eighth was to remain in the hands of the prin- cipal of the survey, to be disposed of by him at his discretion. With an able corps of assist- ants he did much preliminary work the first year of the survey. Six thousand specimens were collected, and the "First Annual Report on the Geology of the State of Vermont," a paper of ninety-two pages, was printed. The next year a map of the surface rocks was pro- jected, several sections worked out, the number of specimens increased to twelve thousand, and a second annual report of two hundred sixty- seven pages was printed. The third annual report, that for 1847, was briefer, a paper of thirty-two pages. Among other things the geo- logical map was continued and corrected, and three thousand specimens were added to previ- ous collections. The collection was also ticket- ed with numbers, formation and locality. The state made no provision for the continuation of the survey the following ycar, and in 1847 Pro- fessor Adams accepted a professorship at Am- herst College. A thin fourth report included an account of the remainder of Professor Adams's work in the State Survey. About this time Professor Adams, in connection with his friend and Amherst classmate, Professor Alonzo Gray, published a text book, "Elements of Geology." A person familiar with his annual reports recognizes that in illustration and in thoughts this book is the outcome of his geological work in Vermont. The deepening of the groove that Professor Adams was im-

pressing on the science of geology apparently stopped here. It has been suggested that it was his desire not to enter into competition with his old teacher, President Hitchcock, that caused him to turn to zoology. This he enter- ed with the same enthusiasm that had char- acterized his work in Middleburg, and the wider border, the mountains and valleys of Vermont. Here at Amherst, as at Middleburg, he put his fashioning hand on the museum of natural history, to which he transmitted his personal collections accumulated in the Ver- mont survey. His more especial original study was in connection with the class Mollusca. The shells of Central America and the West Indies received his careful attention, and in pursuance of his object he made thither successive voy- ages. He visited Jamaica in 1844-45, and again in 1848-49, and Panama in 1850-54. In some parts of his work Thomas Bland, Esq., an Eng- lish lawyer of New York City, and resident of Brooklyn, was in connection with him, and later Robert Swift, a merchant of Philadel- phia and St. Thomas. Frequent published papers came from his study and his pen, and between 1849 and 1851 successive contribu- tions to conchology appeared to the number of ten. These had been made before the various scientific societies, and were mostly printed in the "Annals of the New York Lyceum of Na- tural History." Various Molluscan collections, largely the work of his own hands, were exam- ined and catalogs prepared and printed. In April, 1851, there appeared a catalogue of the land and fresh water shells that inhabit Ja- maica, giving a number of land shells, 364; fresh water, 25 ; in all, 389. His great work in .connection with the Mollusca was with these forms in and around Jamaica. He hoped to prepare a monograph which should be a com- plete study of the species and varieties of that region. From such opportunities for collec- tion, and having the gift of making collections, it is not strange that the museum under the charge of Professor Adams took on a unique character and large proportions, Professor Hovey, of the chair of Physics, had accumu- lated what may be considered the nucleus for the marvel that crystallized around it. A mar- vel it was, the hundreds and thousands of specimens grouped as to relationships, and bearing a peculiar personality by the labelling in the beautiful handwriting of Professor Adams. At the time his formative hand left it, a half century ago, it contained about eight thousand species, and Professor Louis Agassiz said, "I do not known in all the country a

conchological collection of equal value." A somewhat similar collection, made by Robert Swift, for the sum of $30,000 passed into the keeping of the Smithsonian Institution. Teach- ing at Amherst, with collecting in the West Indies, went on year after year with Professor Adams as had his teaching at Middleburg and the geological survey of Vermont. But the year 1853 was a sad one for Amherst College ; an overwhelmingly calamitous one to his family there. While at work in St. Thomas, West Indies, he was attacked by yellow fever. He was most faithfully cared for by his colaborer in the conchological field, Robert Swift; but the grip of the fearful malady was too powerful to be loosed by any loving minis- tration. The strong, the courageous, the hope- ful naturalist, yielded his life, dying January 18, 1853, aged thirty-nine years. Some time later a memorial stone, the appreciative gift of scientific friends, was placed at his grave, the spot at which on St. Thomas, his body was buried.

In person, Professor Adams was not large but sturdy ; his countenance was that described as intellectual ; his eyes large, black, lustrous : his hair abundant and black, early showing gray. He was a good horseman, a strong swimmer. In demeanor he was quiet, self con- tained, with a grave cast of countenance. In physical endurance he was tough to a degree, never suffering from lack of sleep, not know- ing what it was to be tired. Obstacles in his way he pushed aside, and was reckless in the matter of expenditures when such were needed in accomplishing his work. He neither cared for nor feared danger even when, as his friend knew, the peril was great. An associate of Professor Adams speaks of him as a typical scientist, one who possessed a greed of collect- ing, a remarkable power of classification, an ability so to marshal his individuals and groups that they gave expression to his thoughts. He was diligent, methodical, a strenuous worker. For a little he was brought in company with Agassiz, and one who knew them both thinks that in brilliancy of intellect he measured up equally with this world renowned naturalist. In the classroom he had the fullest confidence of his students. Chemistry and natural his- tory were not then the hand to hand sciences between teachers and scholars as to-day, but the instruction he gave in those departments com- manded the careful attention of his listeners. While fast becoming a master in his own realm, his work and study were not bounded by special science alone. He was alert to all

that was going forward in the world of thought, keeping abreast with the recent discoveries that were at the time famous. His early scholar- ship never deserted him, and so in emergencies he would for the time assume the chair of Latin or Greek, logic or moral science, to the delight of his classes. The expression "all around scholar" found an exemplification in him. The classroom and laboratory work at Middleburg college must have been exacting. yet he found time to make a complete collec- tion of the Mullusca of the state. And this was a small part of his outside work. The collections illustrating the various branches of zoology, in addition to geology and minero- logy, bear evidence of his swift and certain hand. He duplicated and more than dupli- cated the work at Amherst. He was a mem- ber of many societies chiefly the following : Association of American Geologists, Boston ; Society of Natural History, Philadelphia Acad- emy of Natural Science, Lyceum of Natural History of New York, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Natural History Society of Nuremburg (corresponding member ), honor- ary member of Jamaica Society.

(VIII ) Henry, fifth son of Professor Charles B. and Mary (Holmes) Adams, was born in Amherst, October 31, 1845, and died in Springfield, October 8, 1907. He attended Williston Seminary, and entered Amherst Col- lege, class of 1869, but left in his junior year. He was a drug clerk in Brooklyn, New York, for a short time, and then entered the College of Pharmacy in Washington, D. C. He was apothecary in the Naval Hospital in Washing- ton, and was a clerk in the Post Office Depart- ment. In 1876 he went to Amherst, and opened the store on the common, which he had since conducted, taking Mr. A. T. Mitten into partnership when he opened a store in Spring- field, 429 Main street, opposite Court Square, about 1895. He went to Springfield to reside about 1898, first on Union street, and about 1904 at the St. James, on Oak street, where he took apartments as soon as it was completed, and made that his home till the time of his death. Mr. Adams's predecessors in business in Springfield were Pabke & Cruse, the busi- ness having been conducted by the junior mem- ber after the death of Mr. Pabke. The store of which Mr. Adams became proprietor was old-fashioned, and one of his first moves was to remodel it. His honest and progressive business methods and hard work built up an excellent trade there. He was generally ac- credited with originating the "college ice" and introduced it into Springfield. Soon after opening the Springfield place, Mr. Adams or- ganized the druggists of that city, and he was instrumental in the organization of the Con- necticut Valley Druggists' Association. He was appointed by Governor Crane to the State Board of Registration in Pharmacy, in 1901, and was two or three years president of that body. During his five years' term of service he did no more widely known work than that by which he was largely the means of securing the passage of the law permitting drug stores to sell soda on Sundays. He was an elector under the will establishing the Smith Chari- ties, a trustee of the Amherst Savings Bank, and a director of the Amherst Gas Company. He was a charter member of the Amherst Gun Club ; a member of Pacific Lodge of Masons, and its treasurer for a number of years. He was also a member of Springfield Chapter. Royal Arch Masons; Springfield Council, Royal and Select Masters; Springfield Com- mandery, Knights Templars ; and Melha Tem-
