"Abigail Adams wrote about the troubles and concerns she had as an eighteenth-century woman[13] and she was an advocate of married women's property rights, more opportunities for women, particularly in the field of education. Women, she believed, should not submit to laws not made in their interest, nor should they be content with the simple role of being companions to their husbands. They should educate themselves and thus be recognized for their intellectual capabilities, so they could guide and influence the lives of their children and husbands. She is known for her March, 1776 letter to John and the Continental Congress, requesting that they, "...remember the ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies we are determined to foment a Rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation."

Slavery. "Adams believed that slavery was evil and a threat to the American democratic experiment. A letter written by her on March 31, 1776, explained that she doubted most of the Virginians had such "passion for Liberty" as they claimed they did, since they "deprive an unknown date their fellow Creatures" of freedom.²"

     John Farrell married Mary Egan.¹ John Farrell was born in 1751.¹ He died in 1811.¹ He witnessed the note of Edward Patrick Farrell and Patrick Farrell; and their Irish ancestry is based on the fallowing: 1) Edward Patrick alway's said that he was born in the Parish of Balingarry, in County Tipperary, Ireland; 2) His wife, Eliza Laura was said to tease him about the fact that his mother was a Kenny (supposedly an "Orange" family name; 3) According to some family lore, when he first came to the States, he lived with a relative perhaps in Minnesota or Wisconsin. 4); In a reply query by Joane Pratt Striebich on the ballingarry.freeforum.org in 2012 she received the fallowing: "I have read you message and would like to let you know that my great grandfather was a brother of Edward Farrell. The family lived in Gortfree and there were nine children in the family. one name I am unsure of but the others were called: William, Elizabeth, John, Brigid, Mary, Patrick and my G Grandfather Michael. Their father's name was John Farrell and he married to Mary Kenny. John's father's name was William and his mother's name was Judy Croke. William's father's name was John Farrell(1751-1811) and his mother's name was Mary Egan(1761 - 1829). John's father's name was patrick and he was born in 1721 and died in 1782"; 6) A Patrick Farrell, of the correct age to have been a brother of Ed's father, immagrated to the States from Tipperary Ireland circa 1848. He married a "Kate" either in Ireland or the States circa 1848. That Patick Farrell settled in and raised a family in Rock County, Wisconsin; 7) A desicendant of that Patrick Farrell has a reasonably close DNA (shared 39cm across 2 DNA segmants) match to at least 2 decendants of Edward Patrick Farrell. 8) There appears to be no other family connection between the descendants of the Wisconsin Patrick Farrell and those of Edward Patrick Farrell. Ergo, Patrick and Edward are prabably bothe from the Farrell family that was living in the Ballingary Parish of Tippararry Ireland during the mid 19th century. Since the DNA match indicates that the relationship at least a 4th generation relationship, it seems that while there may be a generatiional Edward Patrick and Patrick were at least 1rst cousins.^2,1
