Abigail
Smith Adams was the wife of the 2nd U.S.
president, John Adams, and the mother of the 6th U.S. president,
John Quincy Adams. Abigail was descended on her mother's
side from the Quincys, a prominent New England family. She
married John Adams, then a lawyer, in 1764, and they spent
much of their early life apart as John Adams traveled as
a circuit judge and then became a key player in the American
Revolution. Their fond, newsy and philosophical letters
to one another during these absences have become famous
both as evidence of a deep love affair and as a source of
information about the Revolutionary era. Abigail lived briefly
in Paris and London as John Adams served as U.S. ambassador
to France and England, and she became a friend to First
Lady Martha Washington when John Adams became the country's
first vice-president under George Washington. John Adams
became president in 1797, and after his single term ended
in 1801 he and Abigail retired to their home in Quincy,
Massachusetts. Abigail Adams died of typhoid fever in 1818;
seven years later, in 1825, her son John Quincy became president.
