There is no doubt as to who Benning Wentworth had in mind when he named this town. Joseph Addison (1672-1719) is most often remembered as editor of the Spectator and author of numerous political writings in which he supported the common man. He was also one of the great statesmen of his era, Member of Parliament, Lord Commissioner of Trade and Secretary of State. It was in the latter role that he signed the papers appointing Wentworth's father as Lieutenant Governor of New Hampshire, then under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts. Authorities on English surnames say it derives from "Adam's son". The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do,
