Yes, they did. Thomas Jefferson and Johns Adams became close friends at the Cotinental Congress in 1775. this is also where they first met. Later on, especially while Adams was President and Jefferson his vice-president they came to detest one another because their political beliefs were directly opposite to one another's. Each felt the other was betraying the principles for which the Revoluntionary War was fought. It is documented fact that while Jefferson was Adams's vice-president, Jefferson and Madison worked behind Adams's back to undermine him. In the election of 1800 Jefferson ran against Adams and won the presidential election after Adams had served only one term. Adams so disliked Jefferson at that time that Adams did not attend Jefferson's inauguration. After Jefferson had served his two presidential terms, Adams reached out to Jefferson to renew their friendship. Now that neither was directly involved in the politics of the day, each could talk to each other amicably. According to Joseph J. Ellis in "Founding Brothers", Adams knew that history would treat the Jeffersonian side of the political difference more favorably than his side, so he wrote to Jefferson partly as a way to get his side of the story preserved for posterity in his letters. When they both died on July 4, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, John Adams last words were "Jefferson survives." or "Jefferson lives." He was wrong. Jefferson had died 5 hours before.
