Synopsis
Ok July 11, 1767, in the North Parish of Braintree, since set off as the. town of Quincy, in Massachusetts, was born John Quincy A dams. Two streams of as good blood as flowed in the colony mingled in the veins of the infant. If heredity counts for anything he began life with an excellent chance of becoming famous non sine dis animosus infans. He was called after his great-grandfather on the mothers side, John Quincy, a man of local note who had borne in his day a distinguished part in provincial affairs. Such a naming was a simple and natural occurrence enough, but Mr. A dams afterward moralized upon it in his characteristic way: The incident which gave rise to this circumstance is not without its moral to my heart. He was dying when I was baptized; and his daughter, my grandmother, present at my birth, requested that I might receive his name.
