(The Adams Line)


(I) Statira (Adams) Treat was a descendant of Henry Adams, the emi- grant ancestor of the Adams family of America, from which sprang Presi- dents John and John Quincy Adams. Henry Adams, of Braintree, Massa- chusetts, arrived in Boston with eight sons and a daughter. The date is fixed at 1632 or 1633. The name of his wife is not known, but the belief is that she re- turned to England with her son John. Henry Adams died in Braintree, Oc- tober 6, 1646, and was buried two days later. President John Adams erected a monument to this ancestor, his great-grandfather in the churchyard of the old church at Quincy with the inscription: "In memory of Henry Adams, who took his flight from the Dragon persecution in Devonshire, England, and alighted with eight sons near Mount Wollaston. One of the sons returned to England, and after taking time to explore the country, four removed to Med- field and two to Chelmsford. One, only, Joseph, who lies here at his left hand, remained here: an original proprietor in the township of Braintree."


President John Adams was a descendant of this seventh son, Joseph, who was his great-grandfather. Joseph (2), his grandfather, Deacon John, his father, who married Susanna Boylston; President John, their son, was of the fifth American generation.

He was chosen en- sign in 1678 and lieutenant in 1682, in the company of which his brother Samuel was captain. He held other important offices, including selectman and representative to the general court. He died in Chelmsford, July 20, 1688.
