* HappilyMarried: To his wife, Abigail ''née'' Smith, a fact which appears in ''every'' depiction of Adams in fiction; there is not a fictional work about his life which doesn't portray his marriage as this. This is TruthInTevelevision; their extensive and lifelong correspondence with each other was preserved by John after she passed and has served as a basis for writers since. He and Abigail were desperately in love with each other all their lives. Abigail had ''tremendous'' influence on her husband, and served as his chief advisor and counsellor throughout his life. Their surviving love letters -- some of which are incorporated in the musical number "Yours, Yours, Yours" in ''Theatre/SeventeenSeventySix'', the title of which was indeed taken direct from the closing lines of some of John Adams' letters -- form the basis for much of their appearance in fiction, as well.

** He played a crucial role in the push for independence, funding the UsefulNotes/TheAmericanRevolution, and the country's early diplomatic efforts, but he correctly predicted that he would be forgotten in comparison to figures like Franklin and Washington. For a long time, if he was mentioned at all it was in connection with the Alien and Sedition Acts (but rarely the circumstances under which he signed them), causing him to be remembered mainly as the guy who restricted free speech. A [[Theatre/SeventeenSeventySix musical]] and biography-turned-miniseries have raised his profile in recent decades. Adams was most proud of the fact his administration had managed to narrowly avert a war with France, but likewise knew most people would have trouble appreciating a president for something they ''prevented.''

* The comic ''Killadelphia'' features a vampire John Adams as the antagonist. He was turned on a trip to the Carribean in 1814 along with Abigail. Disillusioned with how the United States turned out, he's out to build a new more equal society of the undead starting with Philadelphia.
