I think his mother's name was Susan or Elizabeth or something
innocuous?  (Wikipedia tells me Susanna Boylston Adams.)  The only
Hannah Adams I know of is this one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Adams

It does appear that she has a connection to John Adams, but a distant
cousin is much farther apart than the daughter that Carol referenced.
Does anyone who has a better grip of US history know?  (I never like
US history; history of the ancient world was more my style - ancient
China, ancient Greece, etc. - I stopped caring about Europe after the
Romans came about and about Asia after the Qing dynasty came into
power.)
