Description
01/05/1844. An uncommon internal document in the Adams familyThomas Baker Johnson was the brother of Louisa Catherine Adams, the wife of John Quincy Adams. George Washington visited the Johnsons' home in February of 1798, when Joshua, father of Thomas, was serving as Superintendent of Stamps with the Treasury Department. Washington invited them to visit him at Mount Vernon, which they did in May of 1799, Catherine and Joshua accompanied Thomas. Thomas received a political appointment in 1808 as the deputy postmaster of New Orleans, and remained in that position until 1822 when he resigned due to health issues and returned to Washington. During his time in New Orleans, he reportedly set aside a small fortune for the time from his salary and other business activities. Upon his return to Washington, this was turned over to his nephew, Charles Francis Adams, to be invested. Interestingly, Charles is noted repeatedly as managing the financial affairs of a number of his family relations through the years. John Quincy Adams wrote Thomas’s will over a two night period of consultation, which Thomas signed in Washington on February 25, 1842. He died the next year.Charles Francis Adams, son of John Quincy and grandson of John Adams, played a key role in the Civil War. A month after the war started, in May 1861 he was appointed by President Abraham Lincoln to the crucial position of United States Ambassador to England, a position previously held by his grandfather. Charles Francis Adams proved to be an excellent choice for this position; his skills helped keep the British from backing the Confederacy during the Civil War thus helping to ensure a Union victory.Document signed, Washington, May 1, 1844, to his son Charles, and relating to the estate of Thomas Baker Johnson. “Received of Charles Francis Adams the sum of two hundred and fifty four dollars, being the balance in his hands of money belonging to the late Thomas Baker Johnson, Esq., deceased, up to the 14th of October 1843 the day of his decease.” He has signed “J.Q. Adams, executor of the will of Thomas B. Johnson.” At this time, John Quincy Adams was in the House of Representatives, leading the fight against slavery.
