In Quincy, MA, the United First Parish Church is the burial site for both John Adams and his son, John Quincy. Prior to his death, the pastor of this church was William Parsons Lunt (#1202 The Lunt family) who was a descendant of Henry and Ann through son Daniel. William was also a grandson of Henry Lunt (Mariner).
Several of William's sermons have been published (his last).
John Quincy Adams gave the address at William's funeral in 1857. In one of his roles, William had edited a hymn written by John Quincy for the Christian Psalter (1841).
William is credited with requesting the carol, It Came Upon the Midnight Clear, that was written by Edmund Sears. It was first sung in 1849.
