Stephen-5 (Obidiah-4, John-3, Edward-2, Henry-1) Adams, born in the New Grant in
1729, lived and died in the place where he was born. Obidiah's house was on Adams Street, north side, about halfway between Winthrop and Summer Streets, a site now marked by some lilacs and bushes, and for many years was known as the Groehl place. In 1773, Stephen married Molly Littlefield.
He served in the Revolution.
Stephen Adams was the father of Laban Adams who ran the famous Lamb Tavern in Boston and later started the well-known Adams House. He was the grandfather of author William T. Adams - Oliver Optic - and has many notable descendants. When tea was prohibited in the Bay Colony, Stephen's wife had some of the contraband. She so desired some that one day she took some boiling water to the attic of her house, brewed some of the tabooed luxury, and quietly drank it.
The chair that she used in the family pew in the old meeting house was given to
the Medway Historical Society by Herbert Hixon, and bears the initials M A cut in the back.
Stephen Adams died in 1795, and his widow died in 1813.

BIOGRAPHY: Theophilus-3 (Benjamin-2, Joseph-1) Clark, born in Medfield in 1670, married Rache l Partridge around 1694.
By 1702, he was settled on the Wheelock Lot No. 1 in both the Old and New Grants.
His dwelling stood at the northeast corner of the present intersection of Village and Schoo l Streets in Medway, and his lands extended westerly as far as the present Peach Street, an d to the east as far as the present Walker Street.
He owned 110 acres in all.
His wife Rachel died in 1717, and he married second, in 1718, Elizabeth (Underwood) Cutler, w idow of Nathaniel Cutler of Reading, who brought three sons with him to Medway.
Theophilus built and ran the "Bent Sawmill" a little south of his dwelling across the Mendo n road.
He served as Selectman in 1714 and 1722, and was on the town committees involved in buildin g the meeting house in the Old Grant on Bare Hill (opposite the head of Pleasant Street in wh at is now Millis), and securing a minister.
The first "warning out of town" took place in 1733 at Theophilus Clark's house, when Constabl e Edward Clark warned a Mary Burrit, possibly a servant, to depart from Medway.
Theophilus was called "Lieutenant" in the town records.
The original layout of Candlewood Island Road, now Oakland Street, ran easterly of his dwelli ng.
About 1733, he removed to Ashford, Connecticut, where he died in 1737. The year he died, he d eeded his 110 acres in Medway to Jacob Parker and Thomas Corbin who later sold off the land i n parcels to Medway residents.
A part of this land, including the dwelling and mill, were bought by his nephew and namesak e Theophilus Clark in 1737

John was born in England about 1575 and probably was a native of
Somersetshire, where his family appears in records of the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. It is even likely that he was aquainted with the Adams
and the Squire families in England and emigrated with them.

About 1654 he moved with his wife, Edith and her son Edward Adams to Medfield,
Ma. where her older sons Henry and Peter Adams had previously settled. Later
they were joined by her son Jonathan Adams. The Medfield house lots of these
Adamses and John Fussell were adjacent to each other.

John Fussell perished in his burning home set on fire by Indians. John was
nearly 100 years old.

Earlier reports have Edith emigrating to America with Henry, then returning to
England with her youngest child, Ursula. It seems clear now that Edith either
remained in America or returned, survived Henry and remarried John Fussell of
Weymouth.

Henry willed the house to Edith "if she does not remarry"

and lived on a farm in Baltonsborough owned by his grandfather, Henry Squire.
Later emigrated to New England (about 1651) and settled in Medfield.

William was rector of Charlton Mackrell, Somersetshire, as early as 1545 (as
appears in the will of Rev. George Levermore, vicar of Charlton Adam, 21 Sept
1545). During the reign of "Bloody Mary" (1553-1558) , married clergy in
England were ordered to divorce their wifes to conform to the Roman Catholic
law of celibacy. William did not observe this order.

His death was listed as "about 1567" on the evidence of the induction of John
Sprynt as rector of Charlton Mackrell " made vacant by the death of the last
incumbent."

Children listed as "probable".

748 SOURCE: Henry Adams of Somersetshire by J. Gardner Bartlett --The Adams
Family by Jameson

The Adams Family was a race of " sturdy yeomen who lived for generations in
Barton St.David, Sumersetshire England, residing in simple stone, thatched
cottages. Henry married Edith Squire from the adjoining parish of Charlton
Mackrell. Their residence continued in Barton St. David for several years.

Henry and Edith had nine children, eight sons and one daughter, 1-5 were born
in Barton St. David and 6-9 were born in Kingweston, Sumersetshire.

There were several factors which influenced Henry to emigrate to America. Not
the least of which was the prior emigration of many of his friends including
Edith's sister Ann & family. In 1632/3 Henry took his wife and eight children
(Jonathan Adams remained in England a dozon years longer) and emigrated to New
England where he was granted (24 Feb. 1639/40) by the town of Boston, a lot of
40 acres at Mount Wollaston (Braintree, now Quincy)

Henry was a farmer and a maltster in England, an occupation which stayed with
the family in America and into the 19th century.

Bartlett - This reference has been used extensively for information about
Henry Adams, the immigrant, his sons and family, and the ancestry of the Adams'
family in England.

Bartlett's genealogy of Henry Adams provides an interesting history of twelve
and thirteenth century England, especially for the county of Somersetshire. He
presents a believable accounting and pedigree of the Adams family starting with
Fitz Adams (born about 1140) of Charlton-Adams, Somersetshire. He points out
that the name "Adams" (Adam's son) was very common in England. Furthermore, the
law of primogeniture (an exclusive right of inheritance belonging to the eldest
son) which was the social system of that time, eliminated from pedigrees the
descendants of younger sons. This practice makes it very difficult to track a
specific person with absolute confidence. Nevertheless, it is believable that
of the hundreds of unknown, unrecorded descendants of this ancient Fitz Adams
family of Somersetshire, one is our John Adams.

Bartlett's book is recommended reading for anyone who is interested in more
detail about the ancestry of Henry Adams as well as his descendants, especially
those leading to Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams. This reference
was used to establish the Schuler, Mitchell, Clark pedigree through Edward and
Henry Adams, sons of Henry Adams, the immigrant.
