Martha Washignton only had step kids and never any biological ones. (2) I wonder why Martha Washington only had step kids and never biological ones. I think that he already had a lot of kids so she didn’t feel the need to have any (kamryn). Mabey she was not able to have kids or she didn’t want to have her own, they had lots of stepkids. (Jade)Why were some presidents lawyers then they became president, why couldn’t just stay lawyers. Why wouldn’t they become president, and they have some of the same skills as well

Benjamin Franklin’s dad was a soap and candle maker which is ironic considering Ben Franklin grew up to be such an amazing inventor. John Jay graduated from King's college which is now called Columbia University. I wonder why John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on the exact same day which happened to be the Declaration of
Independence 50th anniversary? The people in the military were paid less than those with royal commissions?
Ashby: I learned that John Adams was a lawyer, and that Benjamin Franklin had 15 siblings. Thomas Jefferson founded the University of virginia. I wonder why John Adams only served one term when George Washington had served two? (Ashlyn) Hamilton had written a pamphlet about that John Adams should not be re-elected and John Adams isn’t fit for being a president so people voted for Thomas Jefferson to be president.
