She married John Adams in 1734. She is among the least well known of the famous Adams family, for her name appears infrequently in the large body of Adams writings. However, her son's diary reveals that she had a fiery temper.

John Adams and Susanna Boylston Adams had the following children:

• John Adams
• Peter Boylston Adams – farmer, militia captain of Braintree, Massachusetts.
• Elihu Adams – a company commander in the militia during the American Revolution; died from a "contagious distemper".

Five years after the death of her first husband, she married Lt. John Hall, who apparently did not get along with her grown children. She died in the first year of her son's presidency.
