Summary

Description
English: John Adams (February 1, 1745 [O.S. January 21, 1744] - March 26, 1849), not to be confused with President Adams, on his 100th birthday in Ashburnham, making him possibly the earliest-born person photographed. He was a shoemaker and veteran of the American revolution. This is a photographic copy of the original daguerreotype in the possession of the Susquehanna County Historical Society.
Date 1844/45 (depending on how or if the contemporaries converted the Old Style date, some sources also mistakenly list his Old Style date of birth as January 22, it would either be January 21/22, 1844, January 21/22, 1845, or less likely, the properly converted date, February 1/2, 1845)
