John Adams and his family migrated to Sandisfield, Massachusetts with his father, settling in the Beech Plain area near Spectacle Pond and John resided there (or nearby) his entire adult life. The extended Adams family, John and his brothers, Ebenezer, Samuel, Richard and James, were responsible for the clearing and cultivation of the largest farms of the Beech Plain. Taking advantage of nearby turnpikes with significant traffic, the Adams family led by John's father, Richard Adams, established and operated a successful inn and tavern catering to travelers. The Adams family also operated a store near the intersection of Beech Plain Road and Cold Spring Road. (The Sandisfield Time, VII, No. 8, Nov. 2011, p.5).
It is clear from the record, John participated in the Revolutionary War in 1781 in Captain Smith's company, Lieutenant Colonel Collar's Berkshire County regiment and marched on Stilwater, as Massachusetts's Soldiers and Sailors clearly articulate he is from Sandisfield.
