Hello Clifford,
John M. Adams was my 4th great-grandfather (through his son John Quincy Adams).Did you ever find out more information about him?I see this post is quite old by now, so I hope you still check back occasionally.
I have a family history videotape that my grandparents made, and there is a quote that alludes to the possibility that he left his family.I'll see if I can transcribe it for you if you like.
I know that he and John Quincy went west to CA during the gold rush.My grandfather had a pocket watch that belonged to JQ that had a gold nugget attached, unfortunately he lost it.
I have a little more on Rebecca Battles (and a picture), but not much.
