Abigail Smith¹

F, b. 11 November 1744, d. 28 October 1818

Abigail Smith was born on 11 November 1744 in Weymouth, Massachusetts.² She was the daughter of Rev. William Smith and Elizabeth Quincy.¹ Her father was for nearly half a century pastor of the Congregational church of Weymouth. and her mother a direct descendant of Thomas Shepard, the eminent Puritan divine of Cambridge, and a great grand-niece of the Puritan preacher, John Norton, of the Hingham meeting-house, Boston. She had few educational advantages in the way of access to books, as they were kept from her owing to her delicate constitution. To in a measure compensate for this, she was instructed in the duties of the housewife and took great interest in home affairs. She became an adept in domestic economy, and added to it the rudiments of penmanship and arithmetic. As she reached womanhood her strength increased, and she took up French, Latin, and a well-directed course of reading, although this was only cursory before she became a wife. She was married to John Adams Oct. 25, 1764, and passed the next ten years as the frugal wife of a rising Braintree lawyer. To them were born, during this time, one daughter and three sons. The political events of the period marked the next decade of her married life as one of great anxiety. Her husband was absent most of the time, first as a delegate to Congress and afterwards on a diplomatic mission across the seas. The patriots led by her husband were urging the termination of the unhappy relations existing between the colonies and the mother country, by a declaration of independence. His earnest advocacy of heroic measures gained for him the appelation, "Colossus of Independence." No more positive and unyielding advocate of the measure sustained the course of John Adams than his patriotic wife, and while she had in full view the dire consequences of failure, yet her courage never faltered and her voice never uttered an uncertain sound. Alone with her children she passed the period of war, doing what she could for the patriot cause. In 1784 she undertook the long and dangerous voyage to Europe to join her husband in France, and then she accompanied him to London, as the wife of the first American minister at the court of St. James, and where as such she was not accorded decent courtesy. This rudeness greatly wounded her and increased her devotion to the new republic. Upon the accession of Mr. Adams to the presidency, his wife became the first mistress of the White House, and there the charm of housekeeping was not dispelled by the pride of position; She is the only woman in American history who has been the wife of one president and the mother of another. She resided at Braintree, Mass., after leaving Washington, but always retained an interest in public affairs. A memoir of her life, was published by her grandson Charles Francis Adams.³ Abigail Smith married President John Adams, 2nd President of the United States, son of John Adams and Susanna Boylston, on 25 October 1764 in Weymouth, Norfolk County, Massachusetts.^3,4 Abigail Smith died on 28 October 1818 in Quincy, Massachusetts, at the age of 73.³

Rev. John Eliot Jr. was born on 31 August 1636 in Roxbury (3 August in Weis).^2,3 He was the son of Rev. John Eliot and Ann Mountford.² Rev. John Eliot Jr. graduated in 1656/57 from Harvard.^4,2 He began to preach in 1658 and was called to the church at Cambridge Village (Newton), where he was ordained July 20, 1664. He was a good classical scholar and under the instruction of his father attained considerable proficiency in the Indian language. Until he was settled at Newton he assisted his father in the Indian missionary work. Afterward he preached once a fortnight at Stoughton and occasionally at Natick. Of him, Morton says in the New England Memorial: "He was a person excellently endowed and accomplished with the gifts of nature, learning and grace; of comely proportions, ruddy complexion, cheerful countenance; of quick apprehension, solid judgment, excellent prudence; learned both in tongues and arts for one of his time, and studiously intense in acquiring more knowledge. His abilities and acceptation in the ministry did excel; his piety, faith, love, humility, self-denial and zeal did eminently shine on all occasions. He had under the conduct of his father by his diligence, industry and zeal for the good of souls attained to such a skill in the indian language that he preached to the Indians sundry years; traveling many miles on a day once a fortnight to dispense the gospel to them. The Indians often said his preaching to them was precious and desirable and consequently their loss and the obstruction in that work much to be lamented. In a word there was so much of God in him that all the wise and godly who knew him loved and honored him in the Lord and bewailed his death. "Cotton Mather and other early writers have left similar eulogies.²

He married first Sarah Willett, daughter of Captain Thomas Willett and Mary Brown, circa 1661.² Rev. John Eliot Jr. married secondly Elizabeth Gookin, daughter of Hon. Daniel Gookin and Mary Dolling, on 23 May 1666 at Cambridge, Massachusetts.^1,5 Rev. John Eliot Jr. died on 13 October 1668 in Newton at the age of 32.^1,3 That the Eliot family used a coat-of-arms is shown by the fact that his will bears a seal with a heraldic device and silver seals are mentioned in the inventory of his estate.
