Ferdinando Adams

Ferdinando Adams (fl. 1636-1637) was a shoemaker and churchwarden in Ipswich who was excommunicated from the Anglican Church in 1636. Clement Corbet, Chancellor of Diocese of Norwich complained Matthew Wren, Bishop of Norwich (5 December 1635 - 24 April 1638) that “There be too many Adames in that towne, both Ecclesiasticks and Laickes”. Adams emigrated with his wife Ann to New England, settling in Dedham, Massachusetts. Adams settled in Dedham in 1637.
