George Wasington is still waiting on his first son. I'll go with John Quncy Adams.

And you would be correct! That question stumped me. When I attended Nassau, one of the deans was named Jack Adams -- but was actually John Quincy Adams, a direct descendent. Pretty cool. Don't know if he named his son George, though.

In JQ Adams' day, just about every American --- black and white --- was naming first sons "George," "Washington," or "George Washington." It was an educated guess, but I may have picked it up in that huge Adams biography. I would have been exicted that my dean was related to Todd Zeile.
