George Washington Adams (April 12, 1801 – April 30, 1829) was the eldest son of John Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the United States. Adams graduated from Harvard and studied law before becoming a member of the House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1826. He apparently led a troubled life -- he had a reputation as an alcoholic womanizer predisposed to gloom and paranoia. He drowned after going overboard in the Long Island Sound on April 30, 1829 and his body was reported found washed ashore on June 13, 1829. It is generally assumed he committed suicide.
