Susanna Boylston Adams Hall (March 5, 1708/9 – April 17, 1797) was a prominent early-American socialite, mother of the second U.S. President, John Adams and grandmother of the sixth President, John Quincy Adams.

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.

Her second husband was Lieutenant John Hall of Braintree. When Deacon John Adams died on 25 May 1761, Susannah remarried on 17 Oct 1766 in Braintree, MA to Lieutenant John Hall (born: 27 Mar 1698, Rehoboth, MA; died 27 sep 1780, Quincy, MA). I have never been able to find th buial site of Lieutenant John Hall who is a member of my family. His father was John Hall, born in Braintree 23 Nov 1650, died in Rehoboth in Sep 1721. His grandfather was Edward Hall, born 1611, Henbury, Gloucestershire, England, immigrated 1636 to Plymouth Colony, and died in Rehoboth, MA 27 Nov 1670 (that part of Rehoboth is now Rumford, RI).
