Who is the famous relative of John Quincy Adams?
Samual Adams was John Adams cousin. He had another cousin who's name is unclear.
I could be wrong about this, but he didn't have a salary. He was a wealthy man, as was all of our first President's, so a salary wasn't considered. The Presidency wasn't thought of as a "job" it was seen as a public service for man to give back to his nation and then go home when he had finished his term of office. Our political figures today have made politics into a profession and is part of the problem.

What happened to Quincy Maid Potato Chip company located in Quincy Il?
My father worked for this company from the 1960s until around 2000 as a delivery driver. He was there pretty much the whole lifecycle of the company. It was owned by the Ostermueller family, specifically George Ostermueller, for most of this time. His son, Jim, didn't ever seem to have much interest in this goldmine that bought his Porsche, and eventually after his father's death (late 90s maybe), he ran it briefly and sold it to a few partners. It was down to three drivers when my dad retired from there. It went under around 2000. The building is still there but little else remains of this long time company.

What did John Adams mean when he said title page to a great tragic volume?
John Q. Adams was alluding to the fact that the Missouri Compromise, far from providing a comprehensive solution to the ongoing debate about slavery in America, merely signaled the beginning of a long and tragic struggle towards what he believed would be it's ultimate extinction. The Missouri Compromise essentially divided the counrty in half, everything North of a certain latitude being free, and south slave. This begs the question, why is the word "tragic" used to describe something that would seem to us to be a good thing : that is the end of slavery. Here Adams recognized the fact that lives would be lost, homes and families torn apart, and an entire way of life (the agricultural South) stripped of it's life force. LONG STORY SHORT: By the time Adams said this he had positioned himself adamantly against slavery (Amistad) but knew the end of it would mean terrible things for many. The Missouri Compromise, then, was just the beginning.
