DIED:

New York City, New York

Nov 30, 1800

Charles Adams was born on May 29, 1770 in Braintree, Massachusetts. The surviving biographical summary provides only limited evidence about childhood, schooling, and the daily circumstances of the household, so those details are not reconstructed here without documentation. What can be stated securely is that this person belonged to the interconnected family world from which HistoryGPS traces participants, relatives, and later descendants of the Revolutionary generation.

The available biographical record identifies Charles Adams with work or public activity as a lawyer. Those roles provide the clearest documented basis for including this person in the database and should be read in the political, military, professional, or household context of the period. Charles Adams died on Nov 30, 1800 in New York City, New York. Additional claims about employment, public service, or accomplishments have been omitted where the consulted source did not support them.
