Discrepancy between articles

There seems to be a discrepancy between this article, which indicates JQA II was born in 1833 and graduated from Harvard in 1853, and the link I followed to get here, which appears at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adams_political_family There it says JQAII was expelled from Harvard in 1823.

Suffix

According to the John Adams biography by David McCullough, Thomas Boylston Adams (brother of President John Quincy Adams) had a son who was named John Quincy Adams II. Therefore, this JQA is actually John Quincy Adams III. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 21:01, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

What is the point of this list?

In the section Personal life, this list appears:

• John Quincy Adams Jr. (1862–1876), who died young.
• George Caspar Adams (1863–1900), who was the head coach of the Harvard University football program.
• Charles Francis Adams III (1866–1954), who served as Secretary of the Navy, and who married Frances Lovering.
• Frances "Fanny" C. Adams (1873–1876), who died in childhood.
• Arthur Charles Adams (1877–1943), who served as vice president of the Adams Trust Company, the Colony Trust and the New England Trust Company.
• Abigail "Hitty" Adams (1879–1974), who married Robert Homans in 1907.

... without any explanation as to what it represents. I hope that someone knowledgeable about the subject of this article can either explain the list or else delete it entirely.216.161.117.162 (talk) 18:37, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
