Just ran across this medal and thought it was very cool. Is John W. Adams, former MCA president, a relative of John Adams the US President?

MCA MEDAL AWARDED TO JOHN ADAMS (submitted by John Sallay)
At the MCA 2009 Annual Meeting in Los Angeles, retiring MCA president John W. Adams was presented with a large silver medal as a token of appreciation for his six years of leadership. Using the beautiful French reproduction of the Libertas Americana medal as a host, the medal has engraved in cursive script “To John W. Adams; For Noble Dedication to Medal Collectors” and below the bust “MCA Past President 2003-2009”. The medal was presented in a box upon which was engraved John’s initials. In the August 2009 edition of the MCA Advisory, John thanked the club with the following note: "Your retiring president (aka ye editor) was touched to the quick. My labors on behalf of the Club have been joyful ones; hence, this medal, which is so beautiful by itself and into which so much thoughtfulness has been poured, is compensation beyond desert. Regina and I have placed the medal cum box in a prominent position in our home. We think of you who have given it to us often and with great affection.”

He was from PA, and was said to be a descendent of a Vermont family in the logging and dairy business.
I do know his set of 1794 large cents was legendary, with numerous famous pedigrees.
