Father's name: Joseph Adams (1715-1794)
Mother's name: Hannah Hall (1730-1803)
Age 22 - Married age 20 Sarah Goldwaite on or about 1788 in Keene, Cheshire, New Hampshire, USA.
Dr. Daniel Adams was born in Lincoln, Mass, in 1766; studied medicine with Dr. Gowen, of Weston, Mass.; received the degree of M.D. in 1788; in the same year married Mrs. Sarah, widow of Gen. John Apdaile, of the British Army, from Newcastle-on-Tyne, daughter of Benj. Goldthwaite of Boston, and soon afterwards came to Keene. Their journey was made on horseback, and the sidesaddle and whip used by Mrs. Adams are still preserved by the family. At first they lived in the Dunbar, or “plastered” house, on Main street. He afterwards owned and occupied—doubtless built—the colonial house now at 324 Main street, and died there in 1830. Mrs. Adams died in 1848. They had but one child, Charles Goldthwaite Adams.
Dr. Adams was a druggist and apothecary as well as physician, and prepared his own medicines. He took high rank in his profession, in which he was exceedingly apt and skilful, and for about forty years was a leading man in the town and county. Most of his earlier visits were made on horseback, and he was one of the first to use a wheeled vehicle. He was the third United States postmaster in Keene, receiving his appointment in 1799. In 1805, and for several years afterwards, he published in the Medical and Agricultural Register.
His father was Capt. Joseph Adams, of Lincoln—in his younger days a cornet in the British army, and his commission from King George II, dated in 1759, is still preserved by his descendants.
