Notes for SAMUEL BELCHER:
Was the original builder of the house in which John Quincy Adams would be born and which is preserved today as his birthplace by the National Park Service. His son Gregory (1664-1727) lived in the present John Quincy Adams birthplace and rebuilt it in 1716 into its present form.

John Quincy Adams Birthplace
The house now known as the John Quincy Adams Birthplace was built by Samuel Belcher in 1663 and inhabited by his descendants until Deacon John Adams bought it in 1744. John Adams inherited this home when his father died in 1761. Here he brought his bride Abigail Smith on October 25, 1764. It was in this house that Abigail gave birth on July 11, 1767, to their second child, John Quincy Adams, the future 6th President of the United States. During the American Revolutionary War, while John was distinguishing himself in Philadelphia as the delegate at the second Continental Congress with "the clearest head and the firmest heart," Abigail supervised the education of her children took care of the farm and served as an inspiration to her husband during this critical period of United States History. Abigail penned many of her famous letters to her husband from this Penn?s Hill farm. In 1779, John Adams drafted the Constitution of Massachusetts in his law office in the northeast corner room of this home. After drafting the Massachusetts Constitution, John Adams traveled to Europe and ultimately negotiated and signed the Treaty of Paris, which concluded the American Revolutionary War. With peace secured, John requested his wife and daughter Nabby join him in Europe. After serving as the first U.S. Minister Plenipotentiary to Great Britain, John Adams with his wife Abigail came home in 1788 to their new residence, "Peacefield," also a part of the Adams National Historical Park. While John and Abigail would never again live in their Penn?s Hill cottage, John Quincy Adams resided in his own birthplace during the summers of 1806 through 1808 with his wife, Louisa Catherine.

Samuel Belcher (1637?1679) Samuel was a younger son of Gregory Belcher. Although his inventory does not list any tools, both Samuel and his son, Deacon Gregory Belcher, were carpenters. Perhaps Samuel?s tools went to Gregory, who had yet to finish his training at the time of his father?s death. (Sources: Sprague, Genealogies of the Families of Braintree.)
Deacon Gregory Belcher (1664?1727) The son of Samuel Belcher, Gregory was referred to as a wheelwright, carpenter, shipwright, and ship carpenter in Braintree records. He died on July 4, 1727, "in the 63 year of his age being killed with a plough." His estate included barrels, tubs, wooden ware, five "low chairs," six "black chairs," a "great chair," three chests, a "case of drawers," a "square table," "sundry tools," and a "glew pot and kettle." The Selectmen?s Records document work done by Gregory Belcher, but it is unclear whether they refer to Deacon Gregory or his son, Gregory:
