The Father of the Constitution, James Madison, ultimately won her over. In May 1794, the 43-year-old James sought an introduction to the 26-year-old widow.
Thank you Tara for my continued education. I learn something every day from you and today is no exception.
Of course, I have read about Dolley Madison but you provide much detail to your stories that is new to me. I didn't know about Mrs. Madisons political astuteness nor her having to financially bail out her son's gambling debts. She would undoubtedly be a very popular first lady, even today.
A Gracious Lady. R.I.P. Mr. and Mrs. Madison.
Through hardships, but with hard work and God , another heroine! 🇺🇸
A picture of grace in adversity.
