a(n) is identical to A039921(n-1) for n >= 3. The largest root of x^3 - 7*x + 7 equals (3*w-1)/(2*w-1) for w = 2*cos(Pi/7), where w is the number referenced in A039921. Interestingly enough, all three roots of x^3-7*x+7 have a continued fraction expansion that ends in 2, 3, 1, 6, 10, 5, 2, 2, 1, ... which is a(n) for n >= 5.
