His father was a farmer, shoemaker, and church deacon, which led to the modest upbringing that would define Adams' life. At a young age Adams developed a love of books and studying, and at the age of 15 he was admitted to [[Harvard College]] and graduated in 1755. Deciding to pursue a career in law, he first took a job as a schoolmaster in Worcester to save money for an apprenticeship. He was admitted to the bar in 1759. Upon his father's death in 1761, Adams inherited the family farm; he set up his first law office out of his house. He married [[Abigail Adams|Abigail Smith Adams]] in 1764; they had four children, most notably [[John Quincy Adams]]. He was influenced by the revolutionary lawyer [[James Otis]], from whom he adopted some of his revolutionary thoughts, but he focused mainly on local politics until the passage of the [[Stamp Act of 1765]], which he opposed vigorously.<ref name="sah">[http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/generic/VP_John_Adams.htm U.S. Senate Art and History biography]</ref></div></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>John Adams was born in the small community of Braintree, in the [[Massachusetts Bay Colony]], on October 19, 1735.
