The diary of John Quincy Adams explains: "Solomon Adams, a sophomore, was regarded as 'Adams 1' by the college until the end of July 1786 when he became 'Adams 2.' On the other hand, JQA, who entered late in his junior year, was first classified 'Adams 3,' but he became 'Adams 1' by the beginning of his senior year." Any clearer?

I find that Solomon Adams was a minister in Middleton for twenty years until he died in 1813.

Thomas Adams became a minister in Camden, South Carolina, and died there in 1793.
