Yes, he probably did. Most portraits of Samuel Adams show him wearing a wig, and most portraits of the men who were meeting to create our government also show them wearing wigs. This was a custom that had been brought over from England; it represented being a professional of high status. (To this day in England, many lawyers and judges still wear wigs.) By this time in American history, elaborate powdered wigs were going out of fashion, but more simple grayish-white wigs were still being worn by the majority of the elites of that era. (One exception, we are told, was George Washington, who did not generally wear a wig.)
