Biography
Family
John was born in 1622 and baptised 4 December that same year at Kingweston, Sommersetshire, England, the sixth son (and seventh child) of Henry Adams and Edith Squire. [1][2]
Immigration and Apprenticeship
He emigrated to New England with his parents and siblings (except for his elder brother, Jonathan) sometime in 1638, although the exact date of their arrival is not known.[3] The rest of his family settled at Braintree but John, at sixteen years of age, was apprenticed to John Fournell, a millwright at Cambridge, Massachusetts, for a period of six years.[4] During this time he helped Fournell build a mill for Captain George Cooke at Menotony, and when a lawsuit was filed in 1656 questioning the ownership of the land on which that mill stood, John testified by deposition that he had been personally familar with the land in question and with the Captain's ownership of it since 1638, which was the year his apprenticeship had started.[5] At the end of his training with Fournell, John returned to his parents' home at Braintree, and in October 1645 he was among thirty-two residents of that town to sign a petition to the court regarding a land charter.[6]
His father died in 1646, and three years later John was given a power of attorney by John Shepheard (his aunt Margaret's husband) to collect rents due on lands owned by John's own elder brother, Jonathan, and convey them to his brother, who was at that time living in England.[7] He was also given a power of attorney by his brother Samuel enabling him to collect from the executors of the estate of Emanuel Eglesfield of London (father of Samuel's wife, Mary) any monies due to her as her inheritance.[8] Early in 1650, John Adams departed for England to carry out both of these commissions.[7]
Marriage and Children
John married Anne ________, whose surname and parentage remain uncertain.[7] [9] Although some genealogists have attempted to link her with the Howe family based on a deed which mentions the house of John Adams being "last inhabited by William Howe, a weaver,"[10] recent scholarship has shown that Howe was a contemporary of John and Anne's and so could not have been her father.[11] The date and location of their marriage is also uncertain, it may have taken place in Massachusetts shortly before they departed for England, or they may have met and married in England early in 1650.[4][12]
There were at least eight children from this marriage:
Rebecca Adams, b. c.1651;[13][14] m. 1669 Nathaniel Patten;[13][14] d. 18 Dec 1677[13][14]
Mary Adams, b. 25 Oct 1652;[15] m. c.1676 John Eames;[13][14] d. 3 Apr 1681[13][14]
John Adams, b. 1 May 1653;[16] m. 1680/1 Hannah Bent;[13][17]
Daniel Adams, b. 8 Aug 1657; d. 1657[18]
Joseph Adams, b. 1658/9;[13][17] m. 1687/8 Margaret Eames;[13] d. 20 Jul 1701[13]
Hannah Adams, bp. 17 Jun 1660;[19] d. 26 Jan 1661[13][17]
Daniel Adams, b. 12 Aug 1662;[20] d. 14 May 1685[13][17]Later Career
John Adams returned to New England in 1651 with his wife Anne and eldest daughter, Rebecca.[7] Together they built a home at Menotomy in Cambridge, which remained in the family for six generations.[7] He acquired properties in Concord, Chelmsford, Cambridge, and Charlestown, eventually gifting the family home in Menotomy to his son Joseph.[7]
Death
John Adams died sometime before 7 October 1706, when his estate was entered into probate.[21] He was eighty-four years of age. His will, dated 1 June 1705, left the principal part of his estate to his wife Anne, with his son John to eventually receive the farm. His son Joseph received only five shillings, as he had already been given the deed to the house at Menotony. There were also various small bequests to his grandson William Patten and his granddaughters Martha Smith and Rebecca Squire. His wife Anne and son John Adams were made co-executors.[22]

posted about a month ago by Jackie Stoddard John AtkinsonAdams-30127 and Adams-263 appear to represent the same person because: As per my previous merge request, these two profiles based on dates, geographic locations and names of spouse, children, are almost certainly duplicate profiles and must be merged. Rejecting a merge, because one profile needs some work is extremely inappropriate. Merges have 30 days to be completed, which gives the profile managers time to discuss and agree on details and the merge process itself is an opportunity to clean up the merged profile. Personally the profile for Adams-30127 is not sourced according to pre-1700 guidelines, and the biography is apparently made up of Ancestry.com suggestions and I would be inclined to use details and biography from Adams-263 and not give much credence to what is currently on Adams-30127.posted about a month ago by John Atkinson Al AdamsAdams-30127 and Adams-263 do not represent the same person because: 30127 needs work before any merge can be considered. Thanksposted about a month ago by Al Adams John AtkinsonAdams-30127 and Adams-263 appear to represent the same person because: These two profiles appear to be the same person, given birth in 1622 in Kingweston, Somersetshire. It's difficult to understand the biography on Adams-30127 but there appear to be some similarities both in names of wife and children and geographic locations to the profile of Adams-263. There is a slight different in exact birth date, but Adams-30127 isn't sourced appropriately for pre-1700 profiles, and Adams-263 relies on secondary sources, so this needs to be checked with primary sources if available.posted about a month ago by John Atkinson Al AdamsLooks Awesome, Thank You for your efforts.posted Apr 06, 2021 by Al Adams Jen (Stevens) HuttonI have finished updating this profile.

Biography
Family
John was born in 1622 and baptised 4 December that same year at Kingweston, Sommersetshire, England, the sixth son (and seventh child) of Henry Adams and Edith Squire. [1][2]
Immigration and Apprenticeship
He emigrated to New England with his parents and siblings (except for his elder brother, Jonathan) sometime in 1638, although the exact date of their arrival is not known.[3] The rest of his family settled at Braintree but John, at sixteen years of age, was apprenticed to John Fournell, a millwright at Cambridge, Massachusetts, for a period of six years.[4] During this time he helped Fournell build a mill for Captain George Cooke at Menotony, and when a lawsuit was filed in 1656 questioning the ownership of the land on which that mill stood, John testified by deposition that he had been personally familar with the land in question and with the Captain's ownership of it since 1638, which was the year his apprenticeship had started.[5] At the end of his training with Fournell, John returned to his parents' home at Braintree, and in October 1645 he was among thirty-two residents of that town to sign a petition to the court regarding a land charter.[6]
His father died in 1646, and three years later John was given a power of attorney by John Shepheard (his aunt Margaret's husband) to collect rents due on lands owned by John's own elder brother, Jonathan, and convey them to his brother, who was at that time living in England.[7] He was also given a power of attorney by his brother Samuel enabling him to collect from the executors of the estate of Emanuel Eglesfield of London (father of Samuel's wife, Mary) any monies due to her as her inheritance.[8] Early in 1650, John Adams departed for England to carry out both of these commissions.[7]
Marriage and Children
John married Anne ________, whose surname and parentage remain uncertain.[7] [9] Although some genealogists have attempted to link her with the Howe family based on a deed which mentions the house of John Adams being "last inhabited by William Howe, a weaver,"[10] recent scholarship has shown that Howe was a contemporary of John and Anne's and so could not have been her father.[11] The date and location of their marriage is also uncertain, it may have taken place in Massachusetts shortly before they departed for England, or they may have met and married in England early in 1650.[4][12]
There were at least eight children from this marriage:
Rebecca Adams, b. c.1651;[13][14] m. 1669 Nathaniel Patten;[13][14] d. 18 Dec 1677[13][14]
Mary Adams, b. 25 Oct 1652;[15] m. c.1676 John Eames;[13][14] d. 3 Apr 1681[13][14]
John Adams, b. 1 May 1653;[16] m. 1680/1 Hannah Bent;[13][17]
Daniel Adams, b. 8 Aug 1657; d. 1657[18]
Joseph Adams, b. 1658/9;[13][17] m. 1687/8 Margaret Eames;[13] d. 20 Jul 1701[13]
Hannah Adams, bp. 17 Jun 1660;[19] d. 26 Jan 1661[13][17]
Daniel Adams, b. 12 Aug 1662;[20] d. 14 May 1685[13][17]Later Career
John Adams returned to New England in 1651 with his wife Anne and eldest daughter, Rebecca.[7] Together they built a home at Menotomy in Cambridge, which remained in the family for six generations.[7] He acquired properties in Concord, Chelmsford, Cambridge, and Charlestown, eventually gifting the family home in Menotomy to his son Joseph.[7]
Death
John Adams died sometime before 7 October 1706, when his estate was entered into probate.[21] He was eighty-four years of age. His will, dated 1 June 1705, left the principal part of his estate to his wife Anne, with his son John to eventually receive the farm. His son Joseph received only five shillings, as he had already been given the deed to the house at Menotony. There were also various small bequests to his grandson William Patten and his granddaughters Martha Smith and Rebecca Squire. His wife Anne and son John Adams were made co-executors.[22]

Allan Stuart do you have an interest in the lines: Iv'e noticed the surnames Alexander , Johnson , Stewart, Anderson are all linked to Adams : I'm still to confirm my line to John Adams , whether it be my Adams great Grandfather or from a Mayflower line (Many I have) Grandma Gummers paper tree had our line to USA Pres John Adams , I saw this 30 years ago Comparing Kit NE3891265 (Kirt Allard Adams) [FTDNA] and Kit A477132 (*Jackie Stoddard) [Migration - F2 - 2 130,664,058 133,200,399 3.4 200 3 3,311,720 4,431,356 4 398 5 73,791,092 75,563,830 3.2 371 6 12,297,028 14,327,412 3.3 489 11 108,525,801 112,676,385 4.3 740 12 6,492,649 8,806,081 5.7 510 12 76,400,132 78,613,937 3.1 501 16 80,176,508 81,444,857 3.3 465 17 11,244,165 12,572,583 3.6 352 18 7,273,501 7,990,780 3.3 209 18 75,109,503 77,669,215 6.1 709
posted about a month ago by Jackie Stoddard John AtkinsonAdams-30127 and Adams-263 appear to represent the same person because: As per my previous merge request, these two profiles based on dates, geographic locations and names of spouse, children, are almost certainly duplicate profiles and must be merged. Rejecting a merge, because one profile needs some work is extremely inappropriate. Merges have 30 days to be completed, which gives the profile managers time to discuss and agree on details and the merge process itself is an opportunity to clean up the merged profile. Personally the profile for Adams-30127 is not sourced according to pre-1700 guidelines, and the biography is apparently made up of Ancestry.com suggestions and I would be inclined to use details and biography from Adams-263 and not give much credence to what is currently on Adams-30127.posted about a month ago by John Atkinson Al AdamsAdams-30127 and Adams-263 do not represent the same person because: 30127 needs work before any merge can be considered. Thanksposted about a month ago by Al Adams John AtkinsonAdams-30127 and Adams-263 appear to represent the same person because: These two profiles appear to be the same person, given birth in 1622 in Kingweston, Somersetshire. It's difficult to understand the biography on Adams-30127 but there appear to be some similarities both in names of wife and children and geographic locations to the profile of Adams-263. There is a slight different in exact birth date, but Adams-30127 isn't sourced appropriately for pre-1700 profiles, and Adams-263 relies on secondary sources, so this needs to be checked with primary sources if available.posted about a month ago by John Atkinson Al AdamsLooks Awesome, Thank You for your efforts.posted Apr 06, 2021 by Al Adams Jen (Stevens) HuttonI have finished updating this profile.
