Great job, MMM!

Hmmm, I switched two of my answers, so I botched them. Whoops.

But didn't Jefferson lose a child while in office? Here in wikipedia it lists a child named Mary Wayles (1778-1804), and his presidency as 1801 - 1809.
 
The History Channel let me down again. :( Send me your addy and I'll send you something as a conciliation.
