Who Am I?

I was born in 1794 in Dorchester Massechusetts, and I died in 1865. I graduated from Harvard College at seventeen, and was known for being a brilliant writer. I was a pastor, and was known for my eloquent preaching. In 1814 I was elected Professor of Greek Literature in my Alma Mater. I was elected to Congress, and held that seat for ten years. I was the Govenor of Massechusetts for 4 years, and I was appointed Minister to England. I was also the President of Harvard University and the Secretary of State. I helped buy back Mt. Vernon with the proceeds from a lecture that I wrote. Who am I?

Of late I have been rather sick. Since Friday I have had a cold, and on Tuesday night I had a fever. Hopefully I'll be better soon.
On Saturday we went over to our house and did some cleaning, well, actually the rest of my family did, because I was sick. My uncle Steve who had driven up from the Fort Worth area met us there and then went back with us to where we live right now. He stayed that night, Sunday, and then went back in the morning on Monday. We had a fairly quiet Memorial Day. After a late breakfast, my mom and I went shopping at a thriftstore. Then we got back, had a little lunch, and did different things. That night we worked on yardwork.
