Born May 29, 1736 in Studley Hanover County Virginia to John and Sara Winston Henry, Patrick Henry was a happy child and worked very hard even though sometimes the crops grew very little.

Having a president is something that no country had ever done, or thought to do. The first election was in 1789, where George Washington became the first President. Eight years later in 1797, John Adams was elected to be our second president. Four years after that, Thomas Jefferson became our third president.
