Maryland church is part of first ladies' family histories

From Maryland-

Along a stretch of wooded Maryland road – about an hour from the nation's capitol – stands a colonial church with ties to two presidential families that played roles in Coweta County's history.

Louisa Catherine Johnson was married to John Quincy Adams, America's sixth president, and the signer of the treaty that ceded Creek lands to Georgia – including what is now Coweta County. Sarah Knox Taylor was married only a few months to a Louisiana planter named Jefferson Davis before they both contracted malaria. She died in 1835.

Jefferson Davis survived to become president of the Confederate States of America. In that role, he reviewed troops at Palmetto on Sept. 25, 1864.
