    • (III) Joseph (2), eldest son of Joseph (I) and Abigail (Baxter) Adams was born in Braintree, Massachusetts, October 24, 1654, and died there February 12, 1737. He was selectman of his native town in 1673 and in 1698-99. In August, 1676, he and John Bass were credited to Braintree for services in the war with the Indians. Joseph (2) Adams was thrice married, and he had eleven children in all, two by the first, eight by the second and one by the third marriage. On February 20, 1682, Joseph (2) Adams married Mary Chapin, who was born August 27, 1662, and died June 14, 1687. They had two daughters: Mary, born at Braintree, February 6, 1683, married Ephraim Jones (2) ; Abigail, February 17, 1684, married Seth Chapin (2). In 1688 Joseph (2) Adams married Hannah Bass, daughter of John and Ruth (Alden) Bass, who was born June 22, 1667, and died October 24, 1705. This woman was the granddaughter of John and Priscilla (Mullins) Alden, whom Longfellow has immortalized ; and she was destined to become the grandmother of John Adams, second president of the United States. She had reason to be proud of her ancestry, but her posterity were destined to bring her more reason. To Joseph (2) and Hannah (Bass) Adams were born eight children: Reverend Joseph, January 4, 1689; Deacon John, February 8, 1691-92; Samuel, whose sketch follows ; Josiah, February 18, 1696, married Bethia Thompson ; Hannah, February 21, 1698, married Benjamin Owen; Ruth, March 21, 1700, married Rev. Nathan Webb, of Uxbridge, Massachusetts; Bethia, June 13, 1702, married Ebenezer Hunt ; Captain Ebenezer, December 20, 1704. married Annie Boylston, sister of Susanna Boylston. Of this family Rev. Joseph Adams, the eldest son, was graduated from Harvard College in 1710, was ordained and settled at Newington, New Hampshire, where he remained as pastor sixty-six years, and where he died May 20, 1783, in his ninety-fifth year. Deacon John Adams, the second son, married Susanna Boylston, daughter of Peter and Ann (White) Boylston, of Brookline, Massachusetts; she lived to be ninety-eight years and six weeks old, dying April 17, 1797. They had three sons : John, who became the second president of the United States ; Captain Peter Boylston, who lived at Braintree and was representative to the general court; and Captain Elihu, who lived at Randolph. Massachusetts, and died during the revolution, aged thirty-five. The father of President John Adams was a farmer and cordwainer, which in its original meaning signified a worker in Cordovan leather, and was finally applied to all cobblers and shoemakers. Joseph (2) Adams had a third wife, Elizabeth Hobart, daughter of Caleb Hobart, of Braintree, whom he married about 1706-07. There was one child of this third marriage, who lived but nine days: Caleb, born May 26, died June 4, 1710.
