Samuel Adams faced several challenges in his childhood, including the death of his father when he was just 14 years old, which had a significant impact on his family. Additionally, he struggled with health issues, including a chronic illness that affected his education and social interactions. Despite these difficulties, he was well-educated, attending Harvard College, which laid the foundation for his future political career.

Many people brewed their own beer in the 1700s. I don't know whether there is specific documentation on whether Sam Adams actually did so, but is is certainly likely. However, it is most unlikely that except for both being in the Boston area, there is any other connection between today's Sam Adams beer and the Revolutionary war patriot and possible eighteenth century brewmaster.

Samuel Adams was a good leader for the Revolution. His father was a merchant and a brewer, but Samuel was not a successful brewer.
His brother John was president and his youngest son John Quincy Adams was also president. His wife Abagail was also famous in her time.

James Putnam was the son of Samuel Putnam, both of whom left Worchestor MASS at the start of the American Revolution in 1775. Samuel Putnam was actually the lawyer Adams articled under around 1758-60. Why some suggest he articled under John Putnam is anyone`s guess; but it could be to hide the fact Samuel was associated with Gov. John Wentworth, another friend of Adams, both of whom were considered traitors in the Revolution. Unless Adams knew another James Putnam, its unlikely he had any relationship with Samuel`s son James.
