Mainly in Massachusetts. She was the daughter of a prominent preacher and was born in 1744. She and her two sisters never attended school, but were given an good education in the classics by her father and his students. When she was 15 she met John Adams, who was 10 years older, and at first he found the too sharp tongue teen too much for him. The letters between them while they were courting are filled with teasing and pent up passion. She once wrote him " My pen is always freeer than my tongue. I have written many things to you that I suppose I never could have talked." When they married they began married life in his hometown of Braintree, Mass. and she spent the war years at the farm there. She writes to John about the events she saw and lived through. In 1848 John Quincy writes about his mother " For a space of 12 months my mother with her infant children dwelt, liable every hour of the day and night to be butchered in cold blood, or taken and carried to Boston as hostages by the same hands which on the 17th of June lighted the fires of Charlestown. I saw with my own eyes those fires and heard Britannia's thunders in the Battle of Bunker Hill." Later, when John had all ready spent two years in France she went to England to meet him. When she arrived he wasn't there to greet her and she made her way from Dover to London and got word to him she had arrived. He was in Holland, but the day after he got to London they left for Paris to meet Jefferson. John rented a 32 room manison in the suburb of Aurelie. Her house in Braintree was only 7 rooms ( the house is still there and now Braintree is Quincy , Mass). She didn't like Paris. The family stayed in Paris until May 1889 and returned to their Braintree home. Congress had provided a home for Washington as president, but not for the vice president ( an offical residence for the VP was not established until 1974) and John wasn't sure where they would live. With the help of his son in law, William Smith, John found a house a mile outside of NYC in what would be Greenwich Village. It had no furniture, so the household in Braintree had to be shipped to NY. Since he didn't have a salary from Congress they had to borrow from a friend enough for her to go to NY. Later, she will be the first wife a a president to live in the newly built White House when her husband was elected President.
