HUSBAND NOTES:
US statesman and second president (1797--1801), born in Braintree (now Quincy), MA. The son of a farmer, he distinguished himself at Harvard, and was admitted to the bar in 1758. Of strongly colonial sympathies, he led the protest against the Stamp Act (1765), and in 1774 was sent as a delegate to the first Continental Congress. He proposed the election of Washington as commander-in-chief, and was "the colossus of the debate' on the Declaration of Independence. He retired from Congress in 1777, only to be sent to France and Holland as commissioner from the new republic, and in 1785--8 was minister to England. In 1789 he became vice-president under Washington. They were re-elected in 1792, and in 1796 Adams was chosen president by the Federalists. Defeated on seeking re-election in 1800, he retired to his home at Quincy.
