Only two women have been both a wife to a President and a mother of a President.

Abigail Adams was the first.

The second was Barbara Bush.

A.A. first

B.B. second

Father time has to have a chuckle now and then don't he?

I was thinking about this yesterday, that it was Abigail Adams who was the first, but I didn't catch the A.A., B.B.! Cool Jim!

Patience, we will likely find out in the next 200 years.

The initials thing- we have a weird one in my family...

I am a W which of course makes me a W-
Both my Grandparents are W's
My dad's mother was a W before she married a W and became NWW
My mom married my dad and became MWW
Her sister married my dads brother and she became JWW
My oldest sister married a W, became KWW
My youngest sister married a W, became CWW
and my only daughter married a W, became JWW...

My mom's mom was an A, the only broken link :)

My understanding is that AA didn't live to see her son become President.

Thanks Jm.

I was aware of that but I hadn't made the A.A. and B.B connection.

That wouldn't work unless she married someone whose last name starts with 'C'. As Adams and Bush were their married names.

God point. I was thinking it wouldn't surprise me if she ended up married to a president.

Does she use her married name or has she kept her family name?
