Abigail Smith Adams
She inheriting New England's strongest traditions and was born Abigail Smith in 1744 at Weymouth, Massachusetts. On her mother's side she was descended from the Quincys, a respected and prestigious family in the colony; her father and other forebearers were Congregational ministers.

It was a marriage of the mind and of the heart, enduring for more than half a century.
John Adams was the second president of the United States, serving from 1797 to 1801.
