I was born on 1737 in Braintree (Quincy) Massachusetts, died on October 8, 1793; I signed the declaration of independence with a very big signature, worked as a merchant and was orphaned as a child. I served as the president of the second continental congress and was the first governor of the common wealth of Massachusetts.Some people think that the reason I signed the declaration of independence so because I wanted the British ministry to be able to read it without their spectacles; ”let them double the reward”, others think that I wanted King George to be able to read it himself!

I was born on October 30, 1735 in Braintree. I have two younger brothers named Peter and Elihu. I took advantage of my freedom my parents gave and wrote it in an autobiography I wrote how little I cared about school and how much I liked the outdoors, my favorite thing to do was hunt after a while I decided to bring a gun in school, I loved it so much I could start hunting without going home! Soon my parents began to worry so my father asked me at age ten “what do you want to do boy” I said “be a farmer” the next day my father decided to take me to the fields to work hard like any other adult.
My father had dreams of me graduating from Harvard and become a minster so I agreed to be more attentive to studies. My school work improved and I was interred to Harvard in 1751. I graduated in 1755 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. My first job was a schoolmaster I had many ideas of a new career so I practice on law. So I continued to teach school by day and study law by night. I became a lawyer and I was offered the position of the town’s register of deeds but I rejected the offer and returned back to Braintree. In 1774 I married a girl named Abigail she was 19 and I was 28.
I became the 2nd president of the untied states of America and Abigail was the 2nd first lady. I also help write the constitution of independence and sighed it. I also signed the treaty of Paris. Before I became president I was vice president for George Washington. I also deafened the British in the revolutionary war. I think that it’s interesting that I died on July 4th and got the leading role of the declaration of independence. I’m independent and also a hard worker. I kind of a hero but though I did many good things I also did bad things. Who am I ?

 I was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia on February 22, 1732. I was home schooled by my father and my older brother. When I was young I worked as a surveyor and acquired information on Virginian terrain. I embarked on becoming a planter (a farmer).)On 1752 I became a general which made me major Washington .on june15, 1775 I became commander in chief by the council. On December 23 1783 I retired. Then on 1789 I was elected president unanimously 100% by everyone. I helped create the constitution of America. I was president for two terms but I refused a third term I went back to my farm to live with my wife. One night it was raining and I was working all day and went to sleep in wet cloths and I woke up very sick. He died on December 14, 1799 his last words were Tis well. Who am I?

Who am I? I was born on October 30, 1735 in the state of Braintree, Massachusetts. I was named after my father who had passed away in 1761. At the time my mother remarried, and died in 1797 while I was running my 1st year for president. Yet I still had my two younger brothers Peter and Elihu, my second cousin Samuel Adams, and my future wife Abigail Adams. My child hood dreams were to be accepted in Harvard, and yet I succeeded my dreams and was accepted. In 1755 I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree, 15 out of twenty graduates; I decided to commit myself to Law. I began to write my own journal. My 1st entry was on January 14, 1756, and began writing in it for the rest of my lifetime. I then began to study laws under James Putnam. James Putnam failed to accompany me. But
Fortunately, Jeremiah Gridley, recommended for me. I was tempted to get an early marriage but Gridley Gave me some great advise and I continued to work on law.
In 1764, I had married Abigail Smith on October 25. I was 28 years of age and Abigail was 19. Abigail was the first First Lady to live in the White House along with me. We had four children. Abigail died of typhoid fever on October 28, 1818, just after my fifty-fourth anniversary. Within that time I had defended the British in the Boston Massacre. The mobs were crazy; my defendants had the right; at that time I As I became 2nd president, I helped write the Declaration of Independence.

Who Am I?I was born on December 17, 1760 in Plymouth, Massachusetts as the oldest of seven children. I was an indentured servant of Deacon Jeremiah and Susannah Thomas, who are parents of ten children. Through that, I mastered in men’s and women’s work. During that time, I taught myself how to read books around the house. With that, I became interested in politics and wanted to be involved with the Revolutionary War. When I turned 18, I became a teacher. Although I was at the age where most women get married, I didn’t want to; I craved adventure.
I disagreed strongly about what King George III was doing with the colonies. So I felt the need to enlist in the army, but I knew women weren’t allowed to. So I disguised myself to be a man. Nobody noticed because I had every trait needed. The recruiting officer enlisted me under the name of “Robert” of Carver. I was chosen for the Light Infantry under the command of Captain George Webb. During my first battle on July 3, 1782, I got two musket balls in my thigh and a huge cut on my forehead because of a bullet. I begged my fellow soldiers not to take me to the hospital but they refused to leave me to die. But I left before they got to the musket balls. I took them out myself using a penknife and a sewing needle. Sadly my leg never healed after that. Soon after that, I was promoted to be the waiter of General John Patterson. After the peace treaty was signed I came up with a severe fever and Dr. Barnabas Binney was taking care of me. So he found my secret out. But he didn’t let it out. He only sent me to his wife for further treatment. I think I’m pretty interesting just for the fact that I actually pulled off the disguise of a man in the army.
I would describe myself as a brave woman, strong, smart, courageous, a loving person, and someone who truly cares for their country. I think a hero is someone you look up to, a good influence to others, someone inspiring, brave, and honest. I believe I’m a hero because, me being a woman joining the U.S army, risking her life for her country, not being allowed to, and having fought for our country’s freedom no matter what the cost.

Who Am I?

I am the eldest of six siblings, from my father’s second marriage. I was born in 1732 at Wakesfeild  Plantation, VA. I lived in a mountain named mount Vernon, and  lived near two rivers named  Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers. My education was rough and  I was taught by tutors but was the head of my class.  When I was sixteen I was sent on a surveying mission to Shenenando Valley  in 1748. I was introduced to, a widow who was living at the White house plantation the south shore of the Pumunkey  river Newkent county, VA, by friends of Martha when George was on leave from the French and Indian War. George only visited her home twice before proposing marriage to her 3 weeks after we met. I then married her on January, 6, 1779.

Some of the reasons I left Great Britain and came to the colonies were for a new life. I wanted to be a successful writer and be in the congress. The Colonies apparently supplied that to me with work and time into the military.   

                                    ??? Who am I???

                        I was born on June 2, 1731 on a large plantation in Williamsburg, as the eldest daughter of eight children; through my entire life I was raised to be a housewife and mother, but I was also trained to sing, play music and other studies as well. At nineteen I married Daniele Parke Curtis who was twenty years older than me. We had four children, and two of them died in infancy before my husband in 1757. Two years later I married Colonel George Washington. I followed him around the campaign trail during the American Revolution even though I loved privacy and fine, upper class living.

                        During this time I threw parties for the upper class people to maintain a society during the war times, and I must say, I was a gracious hostess. At times George wanted to give up but because of my strength and belief in him, I kept him going and steadily moved the war along. While I was married to George, my job was to oversee the slaves, and servants, as well as to house soldiers, and raise the children and grandchildren.

                        Sadly in 1799 George died, and not long after, on May 22, 1802 so did I, of a terrible fever. Though I was not known as the 1^st lady back when I was alive, I am now known as the first 1^st lady of the United States. Who am I?
