I am looking for descendants of Samuel Adams, Amnericna Revoluationary activist. My father always told us we were descendants and my family has names of Samuel Adams in Carlisle MA, however, I have not been able to trace to the Revolutionary activist. I believe that Mr. Adams had 2 children, and his son was a doctor. there is little information about them. IF anyone has information, I would like to hear from you.
Thank you,
Penny R.

Have you checked Boston, Chelsea, Braintree, Quincy and Worcester Area. Or, the northern part of Massachusetts.

I am a Rockwood, out family married into the Adam's families.

Also, have you typed in Adams Genealogy, and or Revolutionary War Enlistees???.

He is my ancestor. My dad has a detailed family tree showing all of the Adams ancestors and I am trying to get him to put it online. I live in Hong Kong--halfway across the world--so unfortunately I can't just go over there and get it.

If memory serves, Samuel had a doctor son also named Samuel.

I came across this post while researching my family history. I just discovered that we can now trace this branch of Adams back to the late 1400's to an English village called Barton St. David in Somerset. Do a Google search on Henry Adams and you will find it.

Braintree, Mass (now called Quincy) is where the Adamses settled in the U.S. Presidents John and John Quincy are from there, while Samuel (I think) lived in Boston. He was John's cousin.
