John Quincy Adams Birthplace

When Deacon Adams died in 1761, John inherited the house and land his father had purchased in 1744 and his younger brother Peter the house where John was born. John married Abigail in 1764 and moved into the home he had inherited from his father. Here is where John Quincy Adams, the sixth president, was born. Adams spent most of his early career as an aspiring lawyer in this home.
