Born: 11 November 1744 Weymouth, Massachusetts
Died: 28 October 1818 Quincy, Massachusetts
Abigail Adams (née Smith) (November 11, 1744 – October 28, 1818) was the wife of
John Adams, the second President of the United States, and is seen as the first
Second Lady of the United States and the second First Lady of the United States
though the terms were not coined until after her death.
Adams is remembered today for the many letters she wrote to her husband while he
stayed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during the Continental Congresses. John
