"Anderson was elected as an Adams to the Twentieth Congress." What does this sentence mean? I'm a historian, and I don't understand. Missing words? Extra words? Drfryer03:02, 9 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
As I understand it, during the 1820's, after the collapse of the Federalist Party both major factions described themselves as members of the Democratic-Republican Party. There were significant differences between the factions however, so "party" allegiance was indicated by allegiance to the leaders of the factions, John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson. Calling someone "an Adams" or "a Jacksonian" is the terminology used by the U.S. Congress Biographical website, and I have maintained it in the articles I have written. I have seen a variety of ways of dealing with the issue in Wikipedia and am not aware of a standard practice as yet. Npeters2213:33, 9 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

The Congressional Bio lists Samuel Anderson's birthplace as Middletown, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania however both the Ashmead reference and the Pennsylvania House Speaker website list his birthplace as New Jersey.Dwkaminski (talk) 11:36, 17 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
