Hugh Miller Thompson, 769 Henry Adams of Braintree, called thus because he was one of the earliest or first settlers in that part of the Massachusetts Bay designated " Mt. Wollaston," which was incorporated in 1640 as the town of Braintree. It included what is now Quincy, Braintree and Randolph, Mass. He is believed to have arrived in Boston with his wife, eight sons and a daughter, in 1632 or 1633. The colonial authorities at Boston allotted to him 40 acres of land at "the Mount," for the ten persons in his family, Feb. 24, 1639-40. The name of his wife is not known, nor where and when she died. It has been believed that she returned to England with her son John and daughter Ursula, and died there, which appears not improbable. Henry Adams died in Braintree, Oct. 6, 1646, and was buried on the 8th.
