Please note that the test also has a Founding Mothers option, but I didn't try that one out.

So what hot colonial babe is going to keep you warm tonight?

I am the new Mrs. Nicholas Gilman of New Hampshire. The web site had a little pic and "Looks a little like Rick Rockwell, doesn't he?"

Uh, yeah, he does.

But he is from New Hampshire, which is key.

William Livingston of New Jersey.

At least I only have to travel one state away.

Mr. Richard Spaight of North Carolina. He's dreamy!

The Founding Mothers option doesn't work, those bastards.

Uh oh... it looks like we're going to have have a catfight over that hottie Gouverneur Morris...

I'm the new Mrs. George Mason of Virginia.

This one's an interesting prospect. This wealthy planter was the Constitutional Convention's most eloquent critic of slavery. He argued that "Every master of slaves is born a petty tyrant. They bring the judgement of heaven on a country." In part because the Constitution protected slavery, this man was one of sixteen delegates who refused to sign it.

Not really my idea of a hottie tho'.

I'm the new Mrs. Jonathan Dayton of New Jersey! And if you choose the founding mother option, it'll tell you, "Sorry, there were no founding mothers." And it gives you two links: "Marry a founding father instead," or "Sorry, if I can't marry a founding mother, I don't want to play," which takes you to another site.

Mrs. Rufus King!!! That be me!!! I like bald men named Rufus, I know I'm SO lucky!!!

Dammit! I would have loved a husband named Rufus! I am the new Mrs. Alexander Hamilton, because I chose a man .."who had a passion for English-style government and a weakness for duels."

Kerri, are you willing to share? I got Rufus King as well. And hey, if you're really into constitutional trivia, check out the bill of rights golf course offered as a honeymoon option!

Kerri, Sarah, it's going to be a huuuuge catfight - I'm Mrs Rufus King as well. (I'm a picky one who went right to the end).

I'm now Mrs. Randolph. Pretty good looking when compared to the rest of them =)

Uh-oh, cat fight over Rufus!! I will not share Rufus!!!! Never!! Never!!! Never!!!! He is MY man!

There's only one room for a Mrs Rufus in this town, and it's a-gonna be me. What you got to say about that, girl?

(or something)

Seriously that site is funny - someone (ie, not me) should do something like that for Australia - Who Wants To Marry a Rum Corps Rebel, perhaps?

I'm the new Mrs. George Clymer of Pennsylvania!

He was one of the first to recommend independence. Forward thinking. I like that in a man.

This might cause some friction in our relationship, though: He was a collector of excise taxes on alcoholic beverages in Pennsylvania.

That's just wrong on so many levels.

I also got Nicholas Gilman, which is good, because we're both New Hampshirites. I won't have to move to far from Mummy, who can take care of the kids while Nicky and I are off carousing in Portsmouth.

I got William Davie of North Carolina. Founder of University of North Carolina.

I'm a sucker for an intelligent man with a Carolina accent.

Kristin, get your hands of my Hamilton.

I noticed most folks took the northerners.

James Wilson. He gave almost as many speeches as Beth's Governeur Morris!

Laura,

That's my George Clymer you're claiming for your husband. You get away from him, you little hussy. ;p George is for reform of the penal code and against capital punishment, and he's a patron of the arts. Plus he's influential and quiet. I like that.

-- Anonymous, April 06, 2000

Heh. I basically went through the Southerners 'cause I like the accents. ;)

Lisa, Lise... What can I say. I was under the impression that my Nicky was a fine, upstanding gentleman from a good family. Unfortunately, it looks as if we belong on the Jerry Springer show. "I Married a Founding Father...But He Forgot To Tell Me about His Two Other Wives!" It should be a riviting show.
