E: what are at least 5 notable facts about your person

Interesting facts!

1: I married a minister's daughter, Elizabeth Chuckly. Together we had six children, but sadly, only two of them survived their first few months. Elizabeth died with one of our children during child birth. But I soon remarried Elizabeth Betsy Wells in 1764.

2: I went to Harvard Law school with my cousin, John Adams, where I studied law and politics. I graduated in 1743.


3: I learned Greek and Latin while I was studying at school.

4: I grew up extremely religious. My father was a deacon for the Puritan church.

5: I had a dog named Queue. I taught the dog to bark at the British soldiers every time he passed by one!

6: I am a very poor and simple man (even though I was rich when I was younger). I walk around in the same red cloak. I never cared much about the new fashions that the other men of my time wore. Once my neighbors so kindly lent me clothes when I had to go to the Continental Congress. I guess I also look a little weired because I have a disease that causes tremors and shaking in my hands and also causes my head to nod.
