Abigail and John Adams


            Letters between Abigail and John Adams.
             I found this to be an Interesting topic to choose, and enjoyed learning about these two people that made many changes in modern life. No, John Adams was no Thomas Edison and Abigail Adams was no Amelia Earnhart, however they did do many things, which kept me up late at night looking for some more information to feed my thirst for knowledge. Abigail "Smith" was born on November 11th, 1744, in Weymouth, MA. Her father was Reverend William Smith, and her mother was Elizabeth Quincy Smith. Abigail was the second of four other children. Growing up, many young girls were not allowed to be educated formally so she lacked education. However, growing up, she was encouraged to read avidly. When she was twenty years old, she was married to John Adams, who was thirty-one at the time, in 1764. She fought for women's rights throughout her life, and had five children with John. As John became president in 1797, she became the first lady from 1797 to 1801. While John was away on business trips or many other reasons, she would maintain their home and write love letters to him. She died on October 28th, 1818 of Typhoid Fever in Quincy, MA. John Adams, on the other hand, was born on October 30th, 1735 in Norfolk, MA. His father was John Adams and his mother was Susanna Boylston Adams. He had two younger brothers named Peter and Elhiu. He was also the cousin of Samuel Adams. As a kid, John didn't care much for school. He preferred the outdoors better. He was given a job as a farmer once, and when he was asked how he liked it, he said he enjoyed it and didn't want to quit, which showed me that he was a bit stubborn. He married Abigail Adams who was twenty when he was thirty-one. Not much is known about his mom except for the fact that she divorced his father and later remarried in 1766. John didn't exactly get along with his new stepfather. John studied Law School at night and taught during the day.
