Early life:
John Adams, Jr., the eldest of three sons,was born on October 30, 1735 (October 19, 1735 Old Style,
Julian calendar), in what is now Quincy, Massachusetts (then called the "north precinct" of Braintree, 
Massachusetts), to John Adams, Sr., and Susanna Boylston Adams. The location of Adams's birth is now part of
 Adams National Historical Park. His father, also named John (1691–1761), was a fifth-generation descendant

selectman, or town councilman, who supervised schools and roads. His mother, Susanna Boylston Adams,was a 
descendant of the Boylstons of Brookline.
