8951 Philip V (Spanish: Felipe V, French: Philippe, Italian: Filippo; 19 December 1683 ? 9 July 1746) was King of Spain from 1 November 1700 to his abdication in favour of his son Louis on 14 January 1724, and from his reaccession of the throne upon his son's death, 6 September 1724 to his own death on 9 July 1746.

Before his reign, Philip occupied an exalted place in the royal family of France as a grandson of King Louis XIV. His father, Louis, Grand Dauphin, had the strongest genealogical claim to the throne of Spain when it became vacant in 1700. However, since neither the Grand Dauphin nor Philip's older brother, Louis, Duke of Burgundy, could be displaced from their place in the succession to the French throne, the Grand Dauphin's maternal uncle (Philip's granduncle) King Charles II of Spain named Philip as his heir in his will. It was well known that the union of France and Spain under one monarch would upset the balance of power in Europe, such that other European powers would take steps to prevent it. Indeed, Philip's accession in Spain provoked the 13-year War of the Spanish Succession, which continued until the Treaty of Utrecht forbade any future possibility of unifying the French and Spanish crowns while confirming his accession to the throne of Spain.

Philip was the first member of the French House of Bourbon to rule as King of Spain. The sum of his two reigns, 45 years and 21 days, is the longest in modern Spanish history.


Early years
Philip was born at the Palace of Versailles[1] in France as the second son of Louis, Grand Dauphin, the heir apparent to the throne of France, and his wife Maria Anna Victoria of Bavaria,[2] known as the Dauphine Victoire. He was a younger brother of Louis, Duke of Burgundy, the father of Louis XV of France. At birth, Philip was created Duke of Anjou, a traditional title for younger sons in the French royal family. He would be known by this name until he became the King of Spain. Since Philip's older brother, the Duke of Burgundy, was second in line to the French throne after his father, there was little expectation that either he or his younger brother Charles, Duke of Berry, would ever rule over France.

Philip lived his first years under the supervision of the royal governess Louise de Prie and after that was tutored with his brothers by François Fénelon, Archbishop of Cambrai. The three were also educated by Paul de Beauvilliers.

Claims to the Spanish throne

Proclamation of Philip V as King of Spain in the Palace of Versailles on November 16, 1700
In 1700, King Charles II of Spain died childless. His will named as successor Philip, grandson of Charles' half-sister Maria Theresa, the first wife of Louis XIV.[2] Upon any possible refusal, the crown of Spain would be offered next to Philip's younger brother, the Duke of Berry, then to the Archduke Charles of Austria, later Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI.[2] Philip had the better genealogical claim to the Spanish throne, because his Spanish grandmother and great-grandmother were older than the ancestors of the Archduke Charles of Austria. However, the Austrians maintained that Philip's grandmother had renounced the Spanish throne for herself and her descendants as part of her marriage contract. The French claimed that it was on the basis of a dowry that had never been paid.[3]

After a long Royal Council meeting in France at which the Dauphin spoke up in favour of his son's rights, it was agreed that Philip would ascend the throne, but he would forever renounce his claim to the throne of France for himself and his descendants.[2] The Royal Council decided to accept the provisions of the will of Charles II naming Philip, King of Spain, and the Spanish ambassador was called in and introduced to his new king. The ambassador, along with his son, knelt before Philip and made a long speech in Spanish, which Philip did not understand. (Louis XIV, the son and husband of Spanish princesses, did speak Spanish, but Philip learned only later.)[citation needed]

First marriage
On 2 November 1701, the almost 18-year-old Philip married the 13-year-old Maria Luisa of Savoy, as chosen by his grandfather King Louis XIV. She was the daughter of Victor Amadeus II, Duke of Savoy, and his wife Anne Marie d'Orléans, Philip's first cousin once removed. The Duke and Duchess of Savoy were also the parents of Princess Marie Adélaïde of Savoy, Duchess of Burgundy, Philip's sister-in-law. There was a proxy ceremony at Turin, the capital of the Duchy of Savoy, and another one at Versailles on 11 September.[citation needed]

Maria Luisa proved very popular as Queen of Spain. She served as regent for her husband on several occasions. Her most successful term was when Philip was away touring his Italian domains for nine months in 1702, when she was just 14 years old. On entering Naples that year he was presented with Bernini's Boy with a Dragon by Carlo Barberini. In 1714, Maria Luisa died at the age of 26 from tuberculosis, a devastating emotional blow to her husband.[citation needed]

War of the Spanish Succession

The actions of Louis XIV heightened the fears of the English, the Dutch and the Austrians, among others. In February 1701, Louis XIV caused the Parlement of Paris (a court) to register a decree that if Philip's elder brother, the Petit Dauphin Louis, died without an heir, then Philip would surrender the throne of Spain for the succession to the throne of France, ensuring dynastic continuity in Europe's greatest land power.

However, a second act of the French king "justified a hostile interpretation": pursuant to a treaty with Spain, Louis occupied several towns in the Spanish Netherlands (modern Belgium and Nord-Pas-de-Calais). This was the spark that ignited the powder keg created by the unresolved issues of the War of the League of Augsburg (1689?97) and the acceptance of the Spanish inheritance by Louis XIV for his grandson.

Almost immediately the War of the Spanish Succession began. Concern among other European powers that Spain and France united under a single Bourbon monarch would upset the balance of power pitted powerful France and weak Spain against the Grand Alliance of England, the Netherlands and Austria.[4]

Inside Spain, the Crown of Castile supported Philip of France. On the other hand, the majority of the nobility of the Crown of Aragon supported Charles of Austria, son of Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I and claimant to the Spanish throne by right of his grandmother Maria Anna of Spain. Charles was even hailed as King of Aragon under the name Charles III.

The war was centred in Spain and west-central Europe (especially the Low Countries), with other important fighting in Germany and Italy. Prince Eugene of Savoy and the Duke of Marlborough distinguished themselves as military commanders in the Low Countries. In colonial North America, the conflict became known to the English colonists who fought against French and Spanish forces as Queen Anne's War. Over the course of the fighting, some 400,000 people were killed.[5]

It was with this war as a backdrop that, beginning in 1707, Philip issued the Nueva Planta decrees, which centralized Spanish rule under the Castilian political and administrative model and in the process abolished the charters of all independently administered kingdoms within Spain?most notably the Crown of Aragon, which was supporting Charles VI in the conflict?except for the Kingdom of Navarre and the rest of the Basque region, who had supported Philip in the war for the Spanish throne, and retained their semi-autonomous self-government. The policy of centralization had as model the French State under Louis XIV and was strongly supported by politicians such as Joseph de Solís and the Sardinian-born political philosopher Vicente Bacallar.[6]

At one point in 1712 Philip was offered the choice of renouncing the throne of Spain so that he could be made heir of France, but he refused.

Philip decided to relinquish his right of succession to France under one condition: the introduction of semi-Salic law in Spain. Under this law, the succession to the Spanish crown was limited to his entire male line before it could pass to any female, a condition of his renunciation made clear to the allies during the preliminaries of the Treaties of Utrecht. It was not until this was successfully accomplished (10 May 1713) that Spain and Great Britain made their own peace terms at the second Treaty of Utrecht (annexing the new law to the Treaty). By the terms of the Treaty of Utrecht that concluded the war, Philip was recognized as king of Spain but Spain was forced to cede Menorca and Gibraltar to Great Britain; the Spanish Netherlands, Naples, Milan, and Sardinia to the Austrian Habsburgs; and Sicily and parts of Milan to Savoy.[7]

These losses greatly diminished the Spanish Empire in Europe, which had already been in decline. Throughout his reign, Philip sought to reverse the decline of Spanish power. Trying to overturn the terms of the Treaty of Utrecht, he attempted to re-establish Spanish claims in Italy, triggering the War of the Quadruple Alliance (1718?1720) in which Spain fought a coalition of four major powers. Phillip V was forced to sue for peace.

Second marriage
Shortly after the death of Queen Maria Luisa in 1714, the King decided to marry again. His second wife was Elisabeth of Parma, daughter of Odoardo Farnese, Hereditary Prince of Parma, and Dorothea Sophie of the Palatinate. At the age of 22, on 24 December 1714, she was married to the 31-year-old Philip by proxy in Parma. The marriage was arranged by Cardinal Alberoni, with the concurrence of the Princesse des Ursins, the Camarera mayor de Palacio ("chief of the household") of the king of Spain.

Abdication

On 14 January 1724, Philip abdicated the throne to his eldest son, the seventeen-year-old Louis, for reasons still subject to debate. One theory suggests that Philip V, who exhibited many elements of mental instability during his reign, did not wish to reign due to his increasing mental decline.[8] A second theory puts the abdication in context of the Bourbon dynasty. The French royal family recently had lost many legitimate agnates to diseases. Indeed, Philip V's abdication occurred just over a month after the death of the Duke of Orléans, who had been regent for Louis XV of France. The lack of an heir made another continental war of succession a possibility. Philip V was a legitimate descendant of Louis XIV, but matters were complicated by the Treaty of Utrecht, which forbade a union of the French and Spanish crowns. The theory supposes that Philip V hoped that by abdicating the Spanish crown he could circumvent the Treaty and succeed to the French throne.[citation needed]

In any case, Louis died on 31 August 1724 in Madrid of smallpox, having reigned only seven months and leaving no issue. Philip was forced to return to the Spanish throne as his younger son, the later Ferdinand VI, was not yet of age.[citation needed]

Later reign

Philip helped his Bourbon relatives to make territorial gains in the War of the Polish Succession and the War of the Austrian Succession by reconquering Naples and Sicily from Austria and Oran from the Ottomans. Finally, at the end of his reign Spanish forces also successfully defended their American territories from a large British invasion during the War of Jenkins' Ear (1739?1748).[citation needed]

During Philip's reign, Spain began to recover from the stagnation it had suffered during the twilight of the Spanish Habsburg dynasty. Although the population of Spain grew, the financial and taxation systems were archaic and the treasury ran deficits. The king employed thousands of highly paid retainers at his palaces?not to rule the country but to look after the royal family. The army and bureaucracy went months without pay and only the shipments of silver from the New World kept the system going. Spain suspended payments on its debt in 1739?effectively declaring bankruptcy.[9]

Death
Philip was afflicted by fits of manic depression and increasingly fell victim to a deep melancholia.[10] His second wife, Elizabeth Farnese, completely dominated her passive husband. She bore him further sons, including another successor, Charles III of Spain.[10] Beginning in August 1737 his affliction was eased by the castrato singer Farinelli, who, became the "Musico de Camara of Their Majesties." Farinelli would sing eight or nine arias for the king and queen every night, usually with a trio of musicians.[2]

Philip died on 9 July 1746 in El Escorial, in Madrid, but was buried in his favorite Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso, near Segovia.[2] Ferdinand VI of Spain, his son by his first queen Maria Luisa of Savoy, succeeded him.[citation needed]

Legacy
Historians have not been kind to the king. Lynch says Philip V advanced the government only marginally over that of his predecessors and was more of a liability than the incapacitated Charles II. When a conflict came up between the interests of Spain and France, he usually favored France. However Philip did make some reforms in government, and strengthened the central authorities relative to the provinces. Merit became more important, although most senior positions still went to the landed aristocracy. Below the elite level, the inefficiency and corruption that had existed under Charles II was as widespread as ever. The reforms started by Philip V culminated in much more important reforms of Charles III.[11] The economy, on the whole, improved over the previous half-century, with greater productivity, and fewer famines and epidemics.[12]

To commemorate the indignities the city of Xàtiva suffered after Philip's victory in the Battle of Almansa in the War of the Spanish Succession, in which he ordered the city to be burned and renamed San Felipe, the portrait of the monarch hangs upside down in the local museum of L'Almodí.[13]

In addition, after the death of the last legitimate male descendant of Philip V's elder brother Louis, Henri, Count of Chambord, in 1883, all remaining legitimate agnatic descendants of Louis XIV were henceforth descended from Philip V.[citation needed]

Philip V favored and promoted the Atlantic trade of Spain with its American possessions. During this Atlantic trade emerged important figures of the naval history of Spain, among which stands out the corsair Amaro Pargo. Philip V frequently benefited the corsair in his commercial incursions and corsairs: he granted a Royal order given at the Royal Palace of El Pardo in Madrid in September 1714, in which he appointed him captain of a commercial ship bound for Caracas.[14] The Monarch also interceded in the liberation of Amaro during his detention by the Casa de Contratación of Cádiz[15][16] and authorized him to build a ship bound for Campeche, which was armed in Corsica.[15]

Issue
Philip married his double-second cousin Maria Luisa of Savoy (17 September 1688 ? 14 February 1714) on 3 November 1701[2] and they had 4 sons:

Louis I of Spain (25 August 1707 ? 31 August 1724) married Louise Élisabeth d'Orléans but had no children.
Philip (2 July 1709 ? 18 July 1709) died young.
Infante Philip of Spain (7 June 1712 ? 29 December 1719) died young.
Ferdinand VI of Spain (23 September 1713 ? 10 August 1759) married Barbara of Portugal but had no children.
Philip married Elisabeth Farnese (25 October 1692 ? 11 July 1766) on 24 December 1714,[17] they had 6 children:

Charles III of Spain (20 January 1716 ? 14 December 1788). married Maria Amalia of Saxony and had children.
Infanta Mariana Victoria of Spain (31 March 1718 ? 15 January 1781) married King Joseph I of Portugal and had children.
Infante Philip of Spain (15 March 1720 ? 18 July 1765), Duke of Parma and founder of the line of Bourbons of Parma, married Louise Élisabeth of France and had children.

Infante Louis of Spain (25 July 1727 ? 7 August 1785), known as the Cardinal Infante. Was Archbishop of Toledo, Primate of Spain and Cardinal since 1735. In 1754, renounced his ecclesiastical titles and became Count of Chinchón. In 1776, he married morganatically María Teresa de Vallabriga and had children, but without royal titles.
Infanta Maria Antonia of Spain (17 November 1729 ? 19 September 1785), married Victor Amadeus III of Sardinia and had children.

8952 Philip VI of Valois (French: Philippe VI de Valois; 1293 ? August 22, 1350) was the King of France from 1328 to his death, and Count of Anjou, Maine, and Valois 1325?1328. He was the son of Charles of Valois and founded the Valois Dynasty.

Ascension to the throne
In 1328, King Charles IV died without a direct male descendant, however, at the time of his death his wife was pregnant. Philip was one of the two chief claimants to the throne along with the demands of Dowager Queen Isabella of England, the late King Charles' sister, who claimed the French throne for her young son King Edward III of England. Philip rose to the regency with support of French magnates, following the pattern set up by Philip V's succession over his niece Joan II of Navarre, and Charles IV's succession over all his nieces, including daughters of Philip V. A century later this pattern became the Salic law, which forbade females and those descended in the female line from succeeding to the throne. After Charles' queen, Jeanne d'Evreux, gave birth to a girl, Philip was crowned as King on May 27, 1328 at the Cathedral in Reims.

Philip VI, though a descendant of Garcia VI of Navarre, was not an heir nor a descendant of Joan I of Navarre, whose inheritance (the kingdom of Navarre, as well as the counties of Champagne, Troyes, Meaux and Brie) had been in personal union with the crown of France almost fifty years and had long been administered by the same royal machinery (established by Philip IV, the father of French bureaucracy), which administrative resource was inherited by Philip VI. These counties were closely entrenched in the economic and administrative entity of the Royal Domain of France, being located adjacent to Ile-de-France. Philip, however, was not entitled to that inheritance; the rightful heiress was Louis X's surviving daughter, the future Joan II of Navarre, the genealogically senior granddaughter of Joan I of Navarre. Philip ceded Navarre to Joan II, but regarding the counties in Champagne, they struck a deal: Joan II received vast lands in Normandy (adjacent to her husbands fief in Evreux) in compensation, and Philip got to keep Champagne as part of the Royal Domain.

[edit] Life
In July, 1313, Philippe had married Jeanne, (Joan the Lame), daughter of Robert II, Duke of Burgundy and princess Agnes of France, the youngest daughter of Louis IX. In an ironic twist to his "male" ascendancy to the throne, the intelligent, strong-willed Joan, an able regent of France during the King's long military campaigns, was said to be the brains behind the throne and the real ruler of France.

8955 Philippe Emmanuel de Lorraine, Duke of Merc?ur (9 September 1558, Nomeny, Meurthe-et-Moselle ? 19 February 1602, Nürnberg), the eldest surviving son of Nicholas, Duke of Merc?ur and Jeanne de Savoie-Nemours, was a French soldier and prominent member of the Catholic League.

He was made a knight of the Order of Saint Esprit in 1578. His wife was Marie de Luxemburg, the Duchess of Penthièvre.


Rebellion in Brittany
In 1582 he was made governor of Brittany by Henry III of France, who had married his half-sister. In 1588 Merc?ur put himself at the head of the League in Brittany, and had himself proclaimed protector of the Roman Catholic Church in the province.

His wife's family, the House of Penthièvre, were descendants of the House of Dreux as Dukes of Brittany. The House of Penthièvre had lost the dukedom of Brittany to the House of Montfort in the Breton War of Succession in the 14th century. They had subsequently attempted to overthrow the Montfortist Dukes, with no success. Invoking the alleged hereditary rights of his wife, Merc?ur endeavoured to make himself independent in that province, and organized a government at Nantes, calling his son "prince and duke of Brittany".

He formed an alliance with Spain and continued to press for his independence from France when Henry IV became King of France. Henry IV of France sent a force against him led by the duc de Montpensier. With the aid of the Spaniards he defeated the French at the Battle of Craon in 1592. However, the royal troops were reinforced by English contingents and soon recovered the advantage. The king marched against Merc?ur in person, and received his submission at Angers on 20 March 1598.

Henry IV assured his control of Brittany through the marriage of his illegitimate son to Merc?ur's daughter Francoise.

Later years
Merc?ur subsequently went to Hungary, where he entered the service of the emperor Rudolph II. He fought against the Turks, taking Székesfehérvár in 1601.

Family
Philippe married Marie de Luxembourg (1562?1623), Duchesse de Penthièvre and daughter of Sébastien, Duke of Penthièvre, on 12 July 1579 in Paris.

He had two children with Marie:

Philippe Louis de Lorraine (21 May 1589 ? 21 December 1590)
Françoise de Lorraine, Duchesse de Merc?ur et de Penthièvre (November 1592 ? 8 September 1669, Paris)
Françoise married César de Bourbon, duc de Vendôme, an illegitimate son of Henry IV of France at Fontainebleau on 16 July 1608.

PLATTSBURGH DAILY PRESS FRI MAY 30,1919
IN MEMORIAM
On May 3, 1919 in Chazy, NY John H. McCuen at the age of 73 years passed away after three months illness. He was born in Troy N.Y.on October 15th 1845.the oldest son of Elizabeth Walton and John Patterson McCuen and when about eleven years of age he came here with his parents to Chazy the home of his father. In 1863, when his father enlisted in the 118th Volunteer Regiment of New York it became necessary for him to give up his ambitions of further schooling and to assist in the support of his mother and younger brothers and sisters. For a year or more he carried the U.S. Mails by horseback between Chazy and Rouses Point. At the close of the Civil War his fathers death , which was the result of over a year's confinement to the Confederate prisons in Saulsbury, Andersville, permanently played upon his young shoulders the cares and responsibilities of the head of the family and for the next few years he was a clerk in the general store of Mr George Severance under whose honest and kindly guildance he acquired a sound business education as a practical merchant.This career, with great zeal and based upon principals of generosity and fair dealing he succussfully followed in his own store from about the year 1870 until 1912 when he retired ans was succeeded by his eldest son John Ralph McCuen.
Mr McCuen was twice married. His first wife was Caroline E. Brown the only daughter of Captain George Brown. She died in 1879 having bore him two daughters. Caroline who died early in childhood and Elizabeth who survives her father and now resides in Jamestown New York, the wife of a surgeon Dr. F.H. Nichols, in 1881 Mr McCuen married Mary Jane Nichols, who survives him, the daughter of Edmund B. Nichols, by whom he had five sons and one daughter. Of these children he is survived by John Ralph who suceeded his father in business. Leslie E. a lawyer in New York City, Brooks W. a physician and surgeon of Syracuse,New York who as a first Lieutentant in the Medical Corps of the U.S. Army recently returned from France and Hartie, the wife of Roy B. Pike cashier of First National Bank of Canton, New York. Me McCuen is also survived by his brother, Walter Otis McCuen of Jean, Nevada.
During his long life in Chazy he always tried to do his part for the welfare of the town and was often identified with a place as the town clerk ,for the office of the public school grammer at election board and he had also acted as Treasuer of the Chazy Central School, he was ever devoted to the Presbyterian Church where he worshipped having been one of its trustees for many years and the Treasuer of the Church for a period of twenty two years.
His home life was ideal. His first thoughts were for his children and close cooperation with his wife no sacrifice was too great to him when they were concerned. Not only did he early counsel and trust them to be honorable men and women never afraid of work but he joined with his wife to instill in them a desire to equip. themselves for the future with a through education and to that end he assisted them through schools and colleges as generously his modest means could afford. This task before completion meant much self denial and heard work but it was one of love for he knew he was giving them something that a money legacy could never buy.

8985 Polly Coggeshall was born on 15 September 1777 according to the Barbour Collection of Stamford Records for marriages, birth and deaths. Her parents were listed as Dunlap and Hannah Cogshall of Stamford. She married Hezekiah Bishop on January 31, 1796 in Stamford and the officiate was Reuben Scofield.

Polly and Hezekiah had a daughter, Eliza H. Bishop who has sometimes been referred to as Elizabeth. On all essential documents, Census, Tombstone, father's estate probate, and family bible in the possession of Candee Scofield Hoff, she is "Eliza H." Bishop Scofield.

The fact that Polly Bishop survived her husband by 22 years attests to her strength, longevity and family support. She was surrounded by her family, her son Erastus C and daughter Eliza H. Scofield who stayed in Stamford. Her third child, Hezekiah S. Bishop predeceased both his parents.

Polly Bishop was in the 1840 census living with another woman, both age 60+., and living next to her son Erastus C. Bishop. The companion of Polly is probably Maria Hobby, second wife of Benjamin Hobby who died in 1813*. What familial relationship existed, has not been discovered, because Maria's maiden name is unknown as yet. However, the bond was there because they are found in the 1850 US Federal census for Stamford with Polly's son, Erastus C. Bishop. The census was taken on the 11 October 1850 and she stated that she was 73. Polly is in the 1860 census again with the Erastus C. Bishop family. She stated that she was 84 years on 5th of Sept 1860 when the census was taken in Stamford.."
The children of Polly and Hezekiah Bishop are:
Erastus C. Bishop
Eiza H. Bishop. wife of Edwin Scofield
Polly Ann, wife of John Wilmot

*Probate Records Vol II
"Hobby, Benjamin, late of Greenwich, May 13, 1813, letters of administration on his estate granted to Maria Hobby... real estate ordered sold to pay debts, page 489. June 18, 1814, report of sale filed."

Inscription:
"In Memory of Polly wife of Hezekiah
Bishop (Died May 5th 1861) Aged 83
Years"

 
COGGESHALL, Polly (I12401)
 
8986 Polly never married, nor did she ever seem disposed to marry; and she even carried the sentiment to such an extreme that she never wished her brothers and sisters to marry. She preferred, instead, to remain at home, and she wished everyone else to do the same! But aside from that idiosyncrasy (which was the occasion for more or less merry-making in the family circle) she was a most delightful woman, just running over with goodwill.

She cared faithfully for her parents in their old age, and in her own declining years made her home with her bother Newton, whose kindness to her never abated. She died April 8, 1882, at the home of her birth, aged nearly seventy-nine years.

8996 Presidential First Lady. She was the wife of second United States President John Adams, and the mother of sixth United States President John Quincy Adams. Born in Weymouth, Massachusetts, on her mother's side she was descended from early prestigious leaders of the colony. Having received a basic education from her mother, Abigail and her sisters were largely self-taught by utilizing the extensive libraries of their father, grandfather and uncle. An avid reader, Abigail formed a strong bond with her third cousin, John Adams, who was a Harvard graduate, and they were married in 1764; three sons and two daughters were born to this union, which was to last more than fifty years. John's traveling as a circuit judge, a delegate to the Continental Congress and an envoy abroad led to long separations, and Abigail's many letters, written just a she spoke, with clarity, told the vivid story of a woman who stayed at home dealing with wartime shortages, running a farm with minimal help and educating her children. Even before the colonies had declared their independence from Britain, Abigail wrote to John to urge him to "Remember the ladies" when drafting the basis of law for the new nation and to not give husbands unlimited power over their wives. Abigail joined John in Paris in 1784 when he was named Ambassador, and she took great interest in the customs of the French Royal Court. When her husband became the first Vice President of the United States, she and the President's wife, Martha Washington, became good friends. Abigail was of great assistance in the official entertaining because of the experience she had gained from the courts and society abroad. When John Adams was elected President, she managed to continue a formal pattern of entertaining in spite of the primitive conditions of the "President's House" (now known as the White House), which was still under construction. After John Adams's presidential term ended in 1801, they retired to Quincy, Massachusetts and enjoyed seventeen years of companionship that they had longed for during the years of public life. Abigail's correspondence is feted for exhibiting strong leadership of Women's Rights. SMITH, Abigail (I53190)
