Henry Adams lived in Meredith for a time, at the top of Ladd Hill. His farm was where the white schoolhouse stood until recently. His family are all gone.

Tradition says that he had a wen on his left cheek. He was one of the victims who fell through Meredith townhouse floor. It is said that when he went down through it scraped the wen completely from his face, and left no scar when healed. He is connected with the bear story, in 1814. He was a blacksmith.
