Adam was enslaved by Justice Thomas Wells of Deerfield, Massachusetts. A church record from 1734 shows that he confessed to the sin of fornication and in 1735, he "confessed ye sin of lewdness." On the same day he "assented to the Articles of ye xtian [Christian] faith, entered into covenant," and was baptized. In 1741, Adam confessed to lying and "was restored to Xtian watch."
