Discrepancy between articles

[edit]

There seems to be a discrepancy between this article, which indicates JQA II was born in 1833 and graduated from Harvard in 1853, and the link I followed to get here, which appears at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adams_political_family There it says JQAII was expelled from Harvard in 1823. Who is right? 68.50.221.230 (talk) 16:00, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suffix

[edit]

According to the John Adams biography by David McCullough, Thomas Boylston Adams (brother of President John Quincy Adams) had a son who was named John Quincy Adams II. Therefore, this JQA is actually John Quincy Adams III. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 21:01, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What is the point of this list?

[edit]

In the section Personal life, this list appears:

  • John Quincy Adams Jr. (1862–1876), who died young.
  • George Caspar Adams (1863–1900), who was the head coach of the Harvard University football program.
  • Charles Francis Adams III (1866–1954), who served as Secretary of the Navy, and who married Frances Lovering.
  • Frances "Fanny" C. Adams (1873–1876), who died in childhood.
  • Arthur Charles Adams (1877–1943), who served as vice president of the Adams Trust Company, the Colony Trust and the New England Trust Company.
  • Abigail "Hitty" Adams (1879–1974), who married Robert Homans in 1907.

... without any explanation as to what it represents. I hope that someone knowledgeable about the subject of this article can either explain the list or else delete it entirely.216.161.117.162 (talk) 18:37, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
