• Notes

  SOURCES: John Adams by A. Burleigh John Adams was a lawyer, a Revolutionary politician in the Continental Congress, a diplomat in France and Holland, a Vice President to George Washington and the Second President of the United States. Ann Burleih wrote, " For fifty-four years the Adamses lived together, two strong people who were notably well matched in disposition, character, philosophy and depth of affection." Often they were separated for two years at a time as John traveled Europe and Abigail cared for their four children. John died at Braintree ( Quincy ) on July 4th 1826, the fifth anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. He was 90 and the last survivor ( except for Charles Carrol ) of the 56 signers of that document.
