Today, on my Dad's page-a day History Channel calendar it says,

"1828: John Adams Marries Cousin, Mary Hellen

The Adams family represented a political dynasty during the early days of American government. On this day in 1828, John Adams and Mary Hellen, both related to President John Quincy Adams, married at the White House. Marriage between cousins was a long-standing tradition among the Adams clan; even John Quincy Adams himself married his third cousin, Abigail Smith."


So, in honor of the Adams family (wasn't that a TV Show? ) tradition of marrying a cousin post an Adams error (or variety) coin.




I had to edit to fix some spelling

Not an error but a toxic one!

I'm glad I didn't get the SI swimsuit calendar or otherwise there'd be threads about bust coinage every day!

So who did you expect us early New Englanders to marry? Strangers!

Incidentally President Jonh Adams and President John Q. Adams (and one president of the Irish Republic) were descendants of the Pilgrims John Alden and Priscilla Mullins.

For all you history buffs, don't forget to watch the John Adams miniseries Sunday March 16 on HBO.

I just googled the Adams family. See what that marrying cousins gets you ?
