Detailed explanation-1: -Abigail Adams gave birth to six children, three daughters and three sons, four of whom would live to adulthood. One of those four, John Quincy, would achieve the office of president. The other three lived ordinary lives in what has come to be regarded as an extraordinary family.
Detailed explanation-2: -John and Abigail had six children: Abigail “Nabby” in 1765, future president John Quincy Adams in 1767, Susanna in 1768, Charles in 1770, Thomas in 1772, and Elizabeth in 1777.
Detailed explanation-3: -Weighed down by worry over the distress of both Nabby and Charles, John Adams confessed to his wife, Abigail, a couple of years into his administration, “My children give me more pain than all my enemies.” In the fall of 1799, Adams disowned Charles, whom he never spoke to again.
Detailed explanation-4: -Their first child, Abigail Amelia, was born in 1765. Their first son, John Quincy, arrived two years later. Two other sons, Thomas Boylston and Charles, followed shortly thereafter. (Another child, Susanna, did not survive infancy.)
