"Henry Adams of Somersetshire, England, and Braintree, Mass."
Bartlett, J. Gardner
New York; 1927; pp59-67
"Henry Adams, the progenitor in New England of a distinguished American family, was born
about 1583 in Barton St. David, Somersetshire, England, and was son of John and Agnes
(Stone?) Adams, grandson of Henry Adams, and great-grandson of John Adams, all of Barton
St. David... was married to Edith Squire, 19 Oct. 1609, in the adjoining parish of
Charlton Mackrell; but his residence continued for several years in his native ancestral
parish of Barton St. David... A few years later, certainly before 1622, he moved into the
adjoining parish of Kingweston, Co. Somerset.... in 1638 Henry Adams with his wife and all
his children (except his son Jonathan Adams) emigrated to New England... Henry Adams died
in Braintree (since 1792 Quincy), Mass., at the age of about sixty-three years and was
buried there 8 Oct. 1646."
