Adams, John. (Northampton, England 1751-May 15, 1835, Northampton). Baptist. Apprenticed to an iron monger. At age eighteen, united with Baptist church in Northampton of which John Collett Ryland was pastor. Later excluded from the church because of a change of view. After retiring from business, he moved his residence several times bur subsequently returned to Northampton, where he died. His first hymns were published in the Gospel Magazine in 1776. One hymn ascribed to "S. P. R." in Service of Song but written by Adams begins:
Jesus is our great salvation,
Worthy of our best esteem!
This hymn appearing also in Rippon's Selection of 1813 concerns salvation by election as does one other hymn:
Sons we are through God's election.
Many of Adams' hymns remain in manuscript.
