I never realized that John Quincy Adams was such a popular name, until I began researching it to complete a branch on my tree. One was born 1821, another 1838 and the third isn't directly related, so there isn't much information yet. The name, John Adams is another story. I have 22, one being my "brick wall." Recently, I received a large package of Adams information, from Jennielee who shares the same "brick wall" on the Adams line. Two treasured items were her actual photos taken at the cemetery where her John Quincy Adams and his wife Maria Cox were buried. He was my first cousin, 4 times removed.

Surprise! I thought you were going to say you were related to a President of the United States. I had no idea John Quincy Adams was such a common name.
I laughed when I read your post, but then I decided to count up the John ADAMSes in my own database. There were 28! And three John Quincy ADAMSes, including the President because his mother was a SMITH (close relatives to me on the FOWLE lineage). I descend from a John Adams, but not the right one!
