Abigail Adams
Abigail Adams was a unique women because she had an education and
an interest in politics. She learned how to read and write and
enjoyed poems most. She was also very resourceful by helping her
husband on difficult problems.

Abigail was born on November 11 on the Julian calendar, or
November 22 on the modern Gregorian calendar. Abigail had two sisters
named Mary and Elizabeth or Betsy. She had one brother named William
or Billy. Abigail's name was originally Abigail Smith. Each baby was
baptized on the first Sabbath of its life and was recorded in their
parish records. Abigail live in a comfortable house. When Abigail
was sixteen, her father added a wing that was bigger than the original
building to make room for the children, servants, and visitors. When
I say servants it means that they were probably slaves but were called
servants to avoid the dehumanizing effect that the word 'slave' can
mean. Their house was a sight of luxury in the eyes of the common
folk in the parish. Though they lived well, the Smiths had no
fortune. Abigail's father often worked with his own hands, planting
corn and potatoes, gathering hay, sowing barley, or making sure that
his sheep received proper care. Abigail, with the help of her family
grew a very religious bond between each other and a long lasting
friendship.

Abigail never went to a real school because of poor health. So,
she learned at home. Her father's library was not big, but she still
went to it to read books. Abigail's favorite books were novels by
Samuel Richardson. Abigail's father knew John Adams by working with
him and she grew rather close to him starting a wedding. This now
made her name Abigail Adams. Their wedding was held on October 25,
1764, a month before her twentieth birthday. John was a lawyer and
very often was not at home due to court cases he had to attend to.
When Abigail was pregnant with her first son, John was only at home
for eight out of the nine months. The baby was born on a hot day on
the morning of July 14, 1765. The baby's name was 'Abigail', but was
called Nabby. She was with her parents when she had the baby.
Shortly after, she was again pregnant. July 11, 176This is ONLY a preview of the article. If you would like to view the entire document, you must subscribe to Electronic References. Please register below now!
