from A Portrait and Biographical Record of Hendricks County, Indiana
(Chicago: A.W. Bowen & Co., 1895)--pages 972-974:
James Q. Adams, an ex-soldier and the leading blacksmith of Lizton, Hendricks County, Indiana, descends from the same family from which John Quincy Adams, formerly president of the United States, also was derived, his paternal ancestors having been from Scotland.
His grandfather, John Adams, was a native of Pennsylvania, but while yet a young man was filled with a desire for western pioneer life, and he therefore sought a territory of Ohio, with a pack-horse as his means of transportation, and settled in what was later called Ross County, in 1814,
entered land, made a home, reared a family, and there passed the remainder of his days. He had been a true American patriot, was a soldier in the War of 1812, married Isabella Murry, was an elder in the Presbyterian Church,
and died a highly respected citizen.
