I just saw a tweet saying his birth was closer to the death of Thomas Jefferson (1826) than it is to today. Wow.

It’s a fun fact that Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on the same day, July 4 1826, 50 years to the day after the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.

Ironically enough, Adams’ last words were reportedly, “Jefferson lives”

For those who don't know the story: it's ironic because Jefferson died first.
