A Pair of Abigails

There have been quite a few U.S. Presidents with the same first name; there have been three Georges: Washington, H.W. Bush and W. Bush.

The names John and William tie for second with four apiece;  John: Adams, John Quincy, Tyler and Kennedy. The four Williams are Harrison, McKinley, Taft and Clinton.

The most common name for Amercian presidents is James; Monroe, Madison, Polk, Buchanan, Garfield and Carter.

Yet, there have been only two First Ladies with the same first name: Abigail Adams, wife of John (on the left, below) and Abigail Fillmore, wife of Millard. (on the right)
