    • The following description of the events surrounding the marriage of Pres. Jackson and Rachel Donelson is from the official White House biography:

      "Andrew Jackson married her in 1791; and after two happy years they learned to their dismay that Robards had not obtained a divorce, only permission to file for one. Now he brought suit on grounds of adultery. After the divorce was granted, the Jacksons quietly remarried in 1794."
