The answer is John Adams (second President) and Thomas Jefferson (third President). These two men died on the same day. But that's not all; read on.... Both Adams and Jefferson died on July 4, 1826. The fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. As we all know, Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration in committee with John Adams (and Benjamin Franklin).
What Adams didn't know was that Jefferson had actually passed away several hours earlier. 3. THOMAS JEFFERSON. His last recorded words are No, doctor, nothing more, but the three people present at the time of his death all noted that he either stated or asked about the date shortly before his death. The date: July 4th, of course.
