About the Adams Family:

The Adams family resided at Adams Point in Durham, New Hampshire from 1835 until 1960. The principal figures of the family are: “Reformation” John Adams (1791-1851), Methodist minister and founder of the Adams Point branch of the family, his son Enoch George Adams (1829-1900)–Union officer, poet and newspaper editor–and Edward Hamlin Adams (1860-1951), gundalow builder.

For further information about the Adams family see Evelyn Browne’s “Reformation John Adams of Adams Point,” M.A. thesis, University of New Hampshire, 1962.

Biographical Notes

“Reformation” John Adams, 1791 to 1851

John Adams was born in Newington, New Hampshire on February 14, 1791 to John Adams and Abigail Coleman Adams. As a teenager Adams converted to Methodism and as a young man he became an itinerant preacher. He was appointed elder of the Bristol Conference in Rhode Island in 1810. In 1820 he married Sarah Sanderson of Watertown, Maine. He was known for his emotional appeals and fiery preaching and remained a popular minister through the 1830s. His preaching career spanned the period of the “Second Great Awakening” and primarily took him throughout the New England area. In the 1840s his preaching style and mental instability caused him increasing difficulties. Since his religious message was often unwelcome, Adams turned to preaching about temperance issues and using his singing voice. Adams died in 1851 after a period of illness.

John Isaac Ira Adams, 1826 to 1857

John Isaac Ira Adams was born to “Reformation” John Adams and Sarah Sanderson Adams in July of 1826 on Martha’s Vineyard. After attending Yale, John became a teacher at both Martha’s Vineyard and Newington, New Hampshire. He also wrote many articles and poems for several newspapers.

Enoch George Adams, 1829 to 1900

Enoch George Adams was born to “Reformation” John Adams and Sarah Sanderson Adams in February of 1829 in Bow, New Hampshire. He attended Yale with his brother John Isaac Ira. He served in the Civil War in company D, regiment 2 of the 2nd. New Hampshire. After his service Adams was engaged in several Indian wars in the mid-west including an engagement with Sitting Bull. He settled for a time in the Pacific Northwest and edited The Vancouver Register. Enoch George Adams trans- cribed and edited his father’s journals and wrote poetry. He was married to Sarah Plummer and Mary Elizabeth Libbey.

Joseph Martin Reuter Adams, 1838 to 1917

Joseph Martin Reuter Adams was born to “Reformation” John Adams and Sarah Sanderson Adams in May of 1838 on Adam’s Point, Durham, New Hampshire. In 1860 he married Olive Esther Libbey. Joseph opened up the family house as a summer hotel in 1900 and ran it until his death in 1917.

Edward Hamlin Adams, 1860 to 1950

Edward Hamlin Adams was the oldest son of Joseph Martin Reuter Adams and Olive Esther Libbey Adams. Edward served as the last of the gundalow skippers on the Piscataqua River. Gundalows are low built boats with lateen riggings which were used primarily for shipping cargo; they were peculiar to the Piscataqua region. After the use of gundalows died out, Edward and his son Edward “Cass” built two gundalows, The Fannie M and The Driftwood. Edward married Martha Francis Harvey (known thereafter as “Fanny Adams,”) for whom The Fannie M was named, in 1885. He died in 1950 soon after the launch of The Driftwood.

Edward Cass Adams, 1892 to 1959

Edward Cass Adams was born to Edward Adams and Francis Harvey Adams in 1892. Like his father and grandfather, Cass Adams lived on Adams Point. He married Analesa Foss of Rye, New Hampshire in 1936. Cass Adams served on several local civic committees and was active in anti-water pollution efforts in the region. When he died in 1959 no more Adams descendants lived on Adams Point. The property itself came to be owned by the State of New Hampshire and is currently run as a nature preserve.
