Notes - Rev. John Adams married Sarah, daughter of Ste-
phen and Mary (Dudley) Sanderson of Waterford, Me. Mary
Dudley was descended from Gov. Thomas Dudley and Gov. John
Winthrop of Massachusetts. He was known as "Reformation
John Adams" and was a noted evangelist, serving many pas-
torates in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. He died
at Newmarket 30 Sept. 1850.
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.
