Marissa gives a special presentation describing the life of Abigail Adams (1744-1818). It was a most wonderful presentation. Abigail Adams was born as Abigail Smith on November 11, 1744 in Weymouth, Massachusetts, the second of four children of Rev. William and Elizabeth Quincy Smith. She was the wife of John Adams, 2nd President of the United States, and mother of John Quincy Adams, 6th President of the United States.
