Biography:
1. John Adams (2) was appointed as a General Labourer on the 1st December, 1837, with pay of £39 per annum, which included an allowance to Watch in Turn. He was a 26-year-old bachelor when the Return was made.
2. Transcript of the 1841 Census recorded that he and his wife, Sarah, aged 40, were living in Romeland. The Census confirmed he was a Labourer, and that both he and Sarah were born in the County. At that time they had no children. Sarah may possibly have been Benjamin Guinn's daughter (See entry for Benjamin Guinn (1) - Supply 5/238 dated September1840).
