Biography
John Adams was the 2nd president of the United States, serving from 1797 to 1801 and married to Abigail Smith Adams and father of future President John Quincy Adams. He was a pivotal figure in early American history, a lawyer, diplomat, and political theorist, and he played a crucial role in the nation's founding. A leading voice for independence, he served in the Continental Congress, contributing significantly to drafting The Declaration of Independence. His diplomatic efforts in Europe were essential in securing foreign support during the Revolutionary War and helped negotiate the Treaty of Paris in 1783, formally ending the war. Later, as Vice President under George Washington (1789 to 1797) and then as the second President of the United States, Adams navigated the fledgling nation through turbulent times, notably avoiding a full-scale war with France. Though his presidency was marked by political strife, his dedication to the principles of liberty and his unwavering commitment to the nation's well-being cemented his legacy as a true American patriot⁴

Biography
Abigail Adams née Smith, the wife of President John Adams Jr., the second president of the United States, who was also a remarkable and strong figure in her own right. Her extensive correspondence provides invaluable insight into the American Revolution and the early republic. Beyond her role as a wife and mother, including her support of future President John Quincy Adams, she was a keen observer of politics and a strong advocate for women's rights and education. Her letters urged her husband and founding fathers to "remember the ladies" when shaping the new nation. While John was away during the Revolutionary War, she took charge of the family farm and finances, showcasing her strong and independent character. Her insightful commentary and unwavering support for her husband's political career solidified her status as an influential American patriot. Abigail is also noted for prediction and quote used at Disney theme parks today, "I am apt to believe that it [The Fourth of July] will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival ... to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more."^7,8,9

Following Abraham Lincoln's assassination, theories suggesting that Taylor may have also been assassinated began to emerge. In the late 1980s, Clara Rising, a former University of Florida professor, convinced Taylor's nearest living relative to allow an exhumation for testing his remains. In 1991, his remains were exhumed, and samples were taken for testing. The remains were then returned to the cemetery and reinterred. Tests revealed no evidence of poisoning and concluded that Taylor had contracted "cholera morbus, or acute gastroenteritis." In 2010, Killing the President by Willard M. Oliver and Nancy E. Marion, page 189, concluded, "There is no definitive proof that Taylor was assassinated, nor would it appear that there is definitive proof that he was not."^2,3,5,4

Burial	Zachary is buried at Zachary Taylor National Cemetery, Louisville, Jefferson Co., KY, USAG.²

Biography

President Zachary Taylor was the 12th president of the United States. He joined the U.S. Army on May 3, 1808, receiving a commission from President Thomas Jefferson as a first lieutenant in the Kentucky Seventh Infantry Regiment. He served in the U.S. Army for nearly four decades, participating in the War of 1812, the Black Hawk War, and the Second Seminole War. Taylor's most notable victories occurred during the Mexican-American War, where he defeated Mexican forces at Monterrey and Buena Vista, solidifying his status as a national hero. Leveraging his military fame, he resigned his commission in the U.S. Army on January 31, 1849, transitioned into politics, and was elected the 12th president in 1848. Unfortunately, his term was cut short because of his premature death in 1850. His army physician, Alexander S. Wotherspoon, diagnosed the illness as cholera morbus, which was common in D.C. then^5,3

Biography

Ulysses S. Grant was the 18th president of the United States. In 1843, he graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point. He served with distinction in the Mexican–American War but resigned from the army in 1854 and returned to civilian life impoverished. In 1861, shortly after the Civil War began, Grant joined the Union Army and rose to prominence after securing victories. President Abraham Lincoln promoted Grant to lieutenant general and command of all Union armies. In numerous campaigns, he fought General Robert E. Lee, which ended with the capture of Lee's army and his surrender at Appomattox.

In 1866, President Andrew Johnson promoted Grant to General of the Army. Being a war hero, drawn in by his sense of duty, Grant was unanimously nominated by the Republican Party and then elected president in 1868.^4,5
