Can you name the children of all the presidents in order?

George Washington had no biological children of his own but upon marriage to widow Martha Custis, they raised his step-children, John Parke Custis and Martha Custis.

next: John & Abigail Adams

I would have to do a lot of research on this topic. Let me know when you get up to Amy Carter.

I'm glad research is involved. This gets our thinkers working.

Beetleness, very impressed. The average person does not realize that Martha had been married before and had children.

John and Abigail had four children - 3 boys and 1 girl. The most famous of course was John Quincy Adams who became president later. The others were Abigail, Charles, and Thomas.

Next: Thomas and Martha Jefferson

Another trivial tidbit is that the large house overlooking Arlington National Cemetery is the Lee-Custis Mansion (also called the Arlington House or the Robert E Lee Memorial). Built by George Washington's step-grandson (a Custis), whose daughter married Robert E. Lee. At the end of the Civil War, the grounds of the mansion were selected as the site of the National Cemetery, in part to ensure that Lee would never again be able to return the home of his wife & family. George & Robert were related husband of a step-great-granddaughter.

T.J. & Martha had six children, but only two survived to adulthood - Martha and Mary. Three girls and a still-born son were the other 4.

It is alleged that Jefferson fathered children with one of his slaves, Sally Hemings. Modern DNA testing has been used to indicate that a male in Jefferson's bloodline did father a child by Sally.

next: James & Dolley Madison

p.s. Sorry, I live in Northern Virginia & work in the shadow of the Capitol. Exposed to this stuff continuously.

No problem. Go ahead.

I've been there and loved touring the grounds.

There are more connections with famous people and places than most people can possibly imagine. I think that is what makes history so exciting for me. There is so much to discover.
