[26449] 8 JUN 1647, will proved 1
Henry, Braintree, came early to our country, and tradit. says fromBraintree, in Co. Essex in 1632, but widely diverse is the origin by ano. tradit. had gr. in Feb. 1641, of 40 acres by vote of Boston, of wh. Braintree was part, i. e. the portion for ten heads. Perhaps he was the first clk. of the town, after separat. from Boston, tho. more likely is it that his son of the same name had the honor; and he died or was buried 8 Oct. 1646, leav. by tradit. eight s. yet only five are named. in his will, 1646, pro. 8 June 1647, where appear Peter, John, Joseph, Edward, Samuel, and daughter Ursula. Of this d. as tradit. took no notice, it may be that the number eight applied to s. means in truth ch. seven s. and oned. but names eno. for the s. may be seen, and certainly one s good, ifnot two beyond the deviees in the will, as Henry, Thomas, Jonathan, in some reports call. William. The inscript. on the monu. erect. by hisdescend, John Adams, sec. Presid. of the U. S. exhibits the popular story with characterist. strength: In mem. of Henry Adams who took his flight from the Dragon persecution, in Devonshire Eng. and alighted with eight sons, near Mt. Wollaston. One of the sons reteturned to Eng. and, after takeing some time to explore the country, four removed to Medfield, and the neighboring towns, two to Chelmsford. One only, Joseph, who lies here at his left hand, remain, here; who was an original propriator in the township of Braintree incorporated 1639." --Savage

Henry is known in genealogical circles as Henry of Braintree.

!"Ancestors of American Presidents" by Gary Boyd Roberts, 1995; In this source, it is shown that Henry Adams is the great-great-grandfather of President John Adams, the 3rd great-grandfather of President John Quincy Adams, and the 9th great-grandfather of President (John) Calvin Coolidge (Jr.).
Wilma Fleming Haynes

Henry Adams came to New England in 1638. He settled in the Massachusetts Bay. According to Paul C. Nagel little is known of the family in England nor is there much to say about them after Henry established himself as a maltster & a farmer in Braintree, Norfolk County, MA a few miles south of Boston. Henry had several sons, one of those accompanying Henry from England was Joseph who's son Joseph in 1691 had a son named John. It was that John Adams (great grandson of Henry Adams, the immigrant) who was the father of John Adams (president of the USA) with whom the family's great career began.

!According to researcher Linda Moss and another internet contact,Gayle335@aol.com, Henry's ancestry was William, Richard, John Jr., JohnSr. I am inclined to take the Edward Dean Adams book as fact of Henry's ancestry: John, Henry, John.

Gayle335@aol.com showed the following for this other lineage:
Henry's parents: William Adams, born 1555 in Trent, Somersetshire,England and died 1624 and Miss Borrington, born about 1557 in Devonshire, England.
William's parents: Richard Adams, born 1530, Somerset, England and died March 19, 1602/03. and Alice (unknown).
Richard's parents: John Adams, born 1502 in Somersetshire, England and Margery Squier, born about 1504 in Somerset, England.

!According to George R. Adams research using the Ap Adams pedigree, Henryof Braintree had three brothers, all with issue. They were John, Ambrose,and Lt. George who died in Barbadoes in 1647. Many do not believe that these three are Henry's brothers and are from either another line or distant cousins. Many researchers do not believe the Ap Adams pedigree to be accurate. I have not included these three as his brothers until I find further proof of this link.

Occupation: Farmer, Maltster, Husbandman
1643 Constable of Braintree, MA

Henry Adams and his wife Edith came to New England sometime between 1638 and 1640, where he first appears on record in Boston, having obtained a land grant.

[35669] Discrepancies: Wilma Fleming Haynes shows the location of the marriage as Charlton MacKrel
