John Adams ended up more of a Father of His Country than either Washington or Jefferson, and only William Henry Harrison comes near his standard. It starts with an intermarriage between the two families and then the production of babies for several decades as if there was no tomorrow.

He has several million ancestors and a number of them have been American Presidents.

We know who he is if nobody else does, and it doesn't matter!

I suppose you mean he has several million descendants.

Woody Allan said “90% of life is showing up.” I suppose his descendants have shown up.

Plus I remember the musical, “1776” amd the John Adams charactor did so much singing some very wonderful musical sections.

You’re right that his descendants know who he is. I’m on, through my maternal line, and was very proud growing up to study his and Abigail’s letters to each other, among other things. It’s hard to take liberal notions of female repression seriously when you’ve learned about a woman like Abigail Adams who stayed home and kept the family going while her husband was off starting a country.
