Notes for Henry Adams: Henry Adams, our immigrant ancestor, came over from Braintree, England to Braintree, Massachusetts about 1632. In 1639, he was allotted 40 acres of land for the 10 persons in his family. It is believed that Henry's wife and daughter Ursula returned to England and died there.
Henry's son, Jonathan, was the only son not to make the 3000 mile trip with his family, but came over 12 years later.
President John Adams was the great great grandson of Henry Adams.
Henry's oldest son, Henry, was killed by Indians while standing in his doorway, during "King Philip's War", when Medfield was raided by the Indians.
His wife, Elizabeth Paine, was ill in bed in the house of Rev. John Wilson, a doctor as well as a minister, was killed by accidental discharge of a gun in the room below, in the hands of the Captain of the garrison.
One of the two grandsons of Henry, Jr., Joseph Adams, was grandfather of John Adams, second president of the United States.
