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
