This is the only book I can find in my library. It is a good, detailed history of the 1824 election.

I did ask before but it may have went unnoticed. So I was curious to see if any of y'all are related to any of these figures or any politician of this era.

None that I know of, but I am certain there is a horse thief or two hanging from the family tree. ;)

According to my grandmother and another relative I'm related to John Q. Adams. I plan to look and see how.

That would be a good ancestor to have because you would also be related to John, Abigail, Charles Francis, and Henry Adams. Long before the Kennedys they were the first family of America.

Not yet, I'll have to find out more from my older family members.
