 | | John Adams was born the oldest of three brothers on October 30, 1735 (October 19 by the Old Style, Julian Calendar), in Braintree, Massachusetts, though in an area which became part of Quincy, Massachusetts in 1792. |
 | | On June 7, 1776, Adams seconded the resolution introduced by Richard Henry Lee that "these colonies are, and of a right ought to be, free and independent states," acting as champion of these resolutions before the Congress until their adoption on July 2, 1776. |
 | | Similarly, in 1796 and 1800, the Federalist party fielded two candidates, Adams and Thomas Pinckney in 1796 and Adams and Charles Cotesworth Pinckney in 1800, with the intention that Adams be elected President and either Pinckney be elected Vice President. |
