Thomas Jefferson, the third president, and John Adams, the second president, both died on the same day, the fiftieth birthday of this great nation on July 4, 1826. Both Jefferson and Adams had played great roles in the construction of the Declaration of Independence.

I BEN thinking on this one and didn't want to HAM it up. Hopefully, you mean current currency. Otherwise you'd be CHASING down the guy on the $10,000

She would be invaluable as a guide in the region of her birth near the Three Forks of the Missouri, she could serve as an interpreter, and she would quiet the fears of the Native Americans

I obviously just happened to pick up this thread in a quiet moment. Gosh! You guys have really been busy while I've been at work. But I have to tell you that I actually DID laugh out loud when I read Beetle's post on the currency question. (I'm more of a quiet laugher, normally.)
Thank you. Great fun.

Hello Rebecca and company;
John Adams was the 2nd president. However, I had to look this up as I wasn't sure. Does my answer still count?
