Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. John Adams
Answer: Abigail Smith
John and Abigail married in 1764. They had six children, of whom one was stillborn. Abigail was not only married to the President of the United States, but was a mother to one as well, John Quincy Adams. I wonder if she called her son Johnny? Big John little John? Just curious, that's all.
2. Johnny Cochran
Answer: Barbara Berry
Johnny was known as the lawyer who defended OJ Simpson. He married Sylvia Dale in 1985, but had previously been married to Barbara Berry Cochran from 1960 to 1977. Johnny passed away in 2005 in California. Somehow I just can't see him as John Cochran, can you?
3. John F. Kennedy
Answer: Jacqueline Bouvier
This John was not known as Johnny, but Jack. His family called him Jack while growing up, yet we knew him as JFK for years. John and Jacqueline were married in Rhode Island in 1953. John and Jackie moved into the White House in 1961, as 35th President of the United States of America and First Lady.
They had three children and one known as "Little John". The Kennedy family had so many sad events throughout their lives, including losing JFK to a gunshot wound in 1963.
4. John Glenn
Answer: Anna Margaret Castor
John Glenn Jr. was known for his time in space with NASA. John wasn't the only one in his family that was involved with "astronaut" lingo. Anna was on the elite "Astronaut Wives' Club". Each of the wives were to perform their bravery as their husbands were involved with Mercury 7. John and Anna were married from 1943 to 2016 when John passed away.
5. John D. Rockefeller
Answer: Laura Spelman
John and Laura met in school and were married in 1864. They had five children, and yes, one was named John also. John was known for being the co-founder of Standard Oil Company and Laura was far from being the average housewife. She not only taught but was involved in so many different avenues, including devoting to herself to helping others.
6. John Gotti
Answer: Victoria DiGiorgio
This John was known as many alias names, but one was "Johnny Boy". John was born in New York but his ancestors came straight from Italy. John was known for his life of crime, yet he still had love in his heart for his bride, Victoria, and they married in 1962. Victoria had her hands full with their five children and John going to prison on at least two occasions.
7. John Hancock
Answer: Dorothy Quincy
John was known for his signature on the Declaration of Independence and was known for the saying. "We need your John Hancock signature please...". His signature stood out more than any other on the document. John and Dorothy were married in 1775 and were married till he passed away in 1793. Dorothy appears to have been a very strong willed woman, who had no problem voicing her opinion and would not let a man influence her whatsoever.
8. John Lennon
Answer: Yoko Ono
John Lennon was known as a member of one of the greatest music groups of all time, but with greatness comes rumors and sadness. John was married twice, once to Cynthia Powell in 1962, but the marriage was short lived and they divorced in 1968. Rumor had it that he divorced Cynthia for Yoko, but again, this was only a false rumor according to John. Yoko and John were married in 1969.
John's life was tragically taken by a gunshot by a Mark Chapman in 1980. He may have been taken from us but his music will always be with us. "Imagine all the people..." who loved him.
9. John Elway
Answer: Paige Green
John came into our television sets every Sunday with football in hand and smile on his face. John played quarterback for the Denver Broncos. He played with them for 15 years. John has won numerous awards over the years.
John was married twice, once to a former college friend, Janet Buchan in 1984 and then again to a former cheerleader, Paige Green in 2009. No, not a Broncos cheerleader but a Raiders one.
10. Johnny Olson
Answer: Penelope Katherine Powers
When you hear "come on down, you are the next contestant on 'The Price is Right'..." you automatically think of Johnny Olson. Bob Barker would say, "who's the next contestant Johnny?"
Not much is known about the marriage to Penelope other than they were married in 1939 and stayed together until he passed away in 1985.
