Adams (Abigail Smith) is born in Weymouth.

The daughter of Rev. William and Elizabeth (Quincy) Smith, Abigail Adams is educated at home, marries John Adams in 1764,* and moves with him to Boston in March 1768, where they live in Brattle Square (today’s City Hall Plaza). They returns to Quincy in 1771, move back to Boston in 1772, and return for good to Quincy in 1774. While her husband engages in politics and is often absent, Abigail engages in a correspondence with him, raises their children, and runs the family farm, and accompanies her husband to Paris, London, and Washington, D.C., until he retires to Quincy in 1801. Abigail Adams dies in Quincy on October 28, 1818, and is buried alongside her husband in a crypt in the United First Parish Church.
