Notes: Begins: "My names is James Capen Adams. I was born on Oct. 20th, 1807, in the town of Medway, Mass." According to A. N. Adams' "Genealogical history of Henry Adams," 1898, the hero of the above work was not James Capen Adams (born 1816, not 1807) but his older brother John Adams (1812-1860) "though it has been impossible to verify its statements or reconcile them with information derived from other sources."
