Apparently Voltaire and Adrienne de Lafayette met:

“At the house of Mme de Choiseul [Voltaire] met Adrienne de La Fayette. He had frequently expressed his admiration for the Marquis, and now asked to be presented to his wife. He went down on one knee before her. ‘I wish,’ he said, ‘to make my obeisance to the wife of the hero of the New World. May I live long enough to salute him the liberator of the Old.’”

William Maclay’s insults on the founding fathers:

(Maclay served in the Senate from 1789 to 1791. Most of this insults were written in his private journal.)

“a damnable villain” @ Alexander Hamilton

“His Littleness” @ James Madison

“a monkey just put into breeches” @ John Adams

A poem written by Representative John Page of Virginia on John Adams:

“ I’ll tell in a trice—

‘Tis old Daddy Vice

Who carries of pride an ass-load;

Who turns up his nose,

Wherever he goes,

With vanity swelled like a toad.”

The coolest thing I’ve heard all day is that John and Abigail Adams’ grandson’s (son of Nabby and Col. William Smith) name is William Steuben Smith. That’s epic.
