Descendants of President John Adams

This genealogy report of the Descendants of President John Adams is the result of information taken from "Henry Adams of Braintree and His Descendants," by Andrew Adams and from information that I have researched through the New England Historical & Genealogy Society, Census, Death Records, etc. As with all works of this kind, there are probably errors. I will gladly make any corrections, deletions or additions that are fact based and researched. I'm sure there are many more descendants of President Adams who are not listed here. Please contact me at adamsgen@comcast.net if you would like to contribute to this work. With warmest regards, Myra Adams Chiles
