George Adams was born on 6 June 1804 at Pitcairn Island. He was the son of John Adams and Teio. He married, firstly, Polly Young, daughter of Edward Young and Toofaiti, on 1 April 1827 at Pitcairn Island. He married, secondly, Sarah Quintal, daughter of Matthew Quintal and Tevarua, on 6 October 1844 at Pitcairn Island. He died on 29 October 1873 at age 69 at Norfolk Island.
He held the office of Chief Magistrate of Pitcairn Island in 1848. George was a strong opponent of Joshua Hill. In 1856, because one of his grandchildren was very ill and suffering convulsions, he opposed taking her on the migration to Norfolk, as it would kill her. His initial response was to simply refuse to go, but was forced to go by the island leadership.
