Biography
Birth: Jan. 20, 1689 Medfield Norfolk County, Massachusetts Bay Death: Nov. 22, 1765 Medway Norfolk County, Massachusetts Bay
Son of John Adams and Deborah Partridge, born Jan. 20, 1689 in Medfield, Norfolk, Massachusetts Bay. Married Christian Sandford April 24, 1716 in Mendon, Massachusetts Bay.
Obidiah Adams, born in Medfield in 1689, settled on Lot No. 17, West Section, granted by his grandfather Edward. His dwelling was on the north side of what is now Adams Street, about half-way between Winthrop and Summer Streets, and the place was owned by his descendants for over a century and a half. It was later known as the Groehl place, and only some lilacs and a cellar hole now remain to mark the site. In 1716, he married Christian Sanford of Mendon, sister of his brother Daniel's wife Sarah. Three of his sons settled in other towns, and his farm was divided between his sons Nathan and Stephen. He died in 1765, and his widow in 1777.
