It was very popular for anyone with the name of Adams to claim kinship with John and John Quincy Adams during their presidencies.The Adams family of Braintree has been extensively researched.My great-great grandfather "Devil Bill" Adams and his son, my great-grandfather Allenswoth Adams, were notorious for tall tales.Also confusing the issue is that, as with all presidents, there were children "named after" them, and there were children in Kentucky named John Quincy Adams, some of whom could have been cousins of ours.But we were not cousins of the President.
