  Abigail Adams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abigail Smith Adams (November 11, 1744–October 28, 1818) was the wife of the second President of the United States, and is seen as the second First Lady of the United States, though that term was not coined until after her death.
Abigail Adams is remembered today for the many letters she wrote to her husband while he served his country in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during the Continental Congresses and the Constitutional Convention.
Abigail died in 1818 of typhoid fever, and is buried beside her husband in the United First Parish Church (also known as the Church of the Presidents).

We have one more mention of Abigail, and in the very situation of suffering and peril to which, we as we have said, that she was, as the wife of David, continually exposed.
