This article is an important article reflecting on the history of the Otis family, as James "The Patriot" Otis, the son of James Otis, Sr., who was born on June 14, 1702 in Barnstable, Massachusetts, is directly related to James Otis, Jr, one of the founders of Otis McAllister.
He later said, "Otis was a flame of fire" and that he had "a prophetic glance of his eyes into futurity." Otis even made reference to "my country" when referring to the colonies, marking the first instance of anyone conceiving of a nation separate and independent from the crown.
On a number of occasions Otis would be found missing only to turn up somewhere along the carriage route between Barnstable and Boston, his damaged mind probably telling him that he had speeches to deliver at the State House and pamphlets to write at his downtown office.

Otis continued to be a strong supporter of Lincoln and the Union cause during the Civil War, and headed one of California's chief contributions to alleviating the hardships of war; it was known as the Sanitary Fund, an organization that provided much of the medical help given to sick and wounded Union soldiers.
Otis, however, escaped unscathed, as he had denounced the railroad in the first place for even considering Yerba Buena Island.

Adams recalled in later years that Otis' impassioned oratory against these general search and seizure warrants convinced Adams that England and the colonies had been "brought to a Collision," and left him "ready to take arms" against the writs.
Adams' rationale, that the colonies could not be taxed by a parliament in which they were not represented, and that the stamp tax was "inconsistent with the spirit of the common law and of the essential fundamental principles of the British constitution," soon appeared in the Massachusetts Gazette and Boston News Letter.
His cousin, Samuel Adams, incorporated John's argument in the instructions that he drafted for the Boston delegates, and other towns adopted the same stance.
