NO, he isn't the 2nd president, sorry people.

Contrary to the wishful thinking displayed in a number of family trees…oh, if only wishing made it so…this is NOT the John Adams and Abigail Smith who were the parents of the 6th president, John Quincy Adams and who were, the second first couple.

Just look at the dates people; they are about 150 years off from possibility. So sorry to bust people’s bubbles.
