John, son of Peter and Rachel, was brought to Medfield when a boy. He is first mettioned on town books as appointed to office of ?hog-reave? in 1686. This office was often given as a joke to the newly married man in town, and serves as his first identification as he was married in 1685. From then on his is always recorded as ?John son of Peter Adams? to distinguish him from his two cousins. His occupation was never mentioned.

Notes:

Pedigree of Adams family NEHGR (1853) 7:39 portrays an old parchment roll that shows a line back to Ap Adam (1) the Marches of Wales in 13th century. The parchment has many serious contradictions to what we believe today, eg wife of Henry is Rose. Only some of the sons of Henry are shown. Other errors in subsequent article. It is interesting, but cannot be considered credible.
Henry is ancestor of Presidents John and John Quincy Adams thru son Joseph. Emily Dickinson thru both Henry Jr and Mary.
Ancestors of Calvin Coolidge and VP Richard Cheney
