The Duke of Braintree was a sarcastic reference to his grandiose airs.
It referenced the town of Braintree, Massachusetts, where Adams was born. Braintree was later split into several towns. The birthplace of John Adams, located at the base of Penn's Hill, on the line between modern Braintree and the city of Quincy, is in what is now the City of Quincy, Massachusetts.
The sarcastic reference to "Duke" was based on Adams' laughed at suggestion that a more heraldic or majestic reference be used to address the person who holds the office of President of the United States, than merely "Mr. President."
