In 1763 the daughter of a Congregational minister, Abigail, married John, who was the son of a farmer. The minister was so enraged that she was marrying beneath her that the lesson he read was from Luke 7 v33, “John came neither eating bread, nor drinking wine and some say he has a devil in him.” The groom, John Adams (1735-1826), was to become the second president of the United States.
