1927 Henry Adams of Somersetshire, England and Braintree, Mass. His English Ancestry and Some of His Descendants

Description

Colour Plates, Illustrated, Limited Edition, Very Scarce

A very scarce work in a cloth binding. Illustrated with a frontispiece and 28 further plates, including portraits, maps, and the arms of the Adams family in colour. Collated, complete. A fascinating work of genealogy, in which Charles Edward Banks details the English ancestry of Henry Adams, and J. Gardiner Bartlett provides information on his American descendants. Henry Adams was the English ancestor of two American presidents of the same surname. This work was compiled for the American businessman Edward Dean Adams (1846-1931), by J. Gardiner Bartlett (1872-1927), a prominent American genealogist who focused on New England and the English origins of colonial families.
