Andrew Adams (politician)
Andrew Adams (January 7, 1736 – November 26, 1797) was an American Founding Father, lawyer, jurist, and political leader in Connecticut during the nation's Revolutionary Era.Following the war, he returned to his law practice, and in 1793, he was appointed Chief Justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court.Governor of Connecticut Johnathan Trumbull wrote to congressmen Roger Sherman, Titus Hosmer and Adams[6] on military movements in what is now known as the states of New England.Adams and Hosmer answered the governor's message, stating they would take the opportunity to write to Major Bigelow and keep an eye on the situation through organizing a Board of Treasury, but little progress had been made.After leaving the Continental Congress in 1778, a year later Adams had been named a member of the Connecticut executive council by Trumbull.
