| Notes |
- When Andrew Jackson migrated to Nashville, Tennessee in 1788, he boa r d e d with Rachel Stockley Donelson, the mother of Rachel Donelson Roba rd s. S hortly after, they married in Natchez, Mississippi, believing tha t h e r hu sband had obtained a divorce. As the divorce had never been co mple te d, th eir marriage was technically bigamous and therefore invalid .[2 ] His torian s found that a friend of Lewis Robards had planted a fak e ar ticl e in hi s own newspaper, saying that the couple's divorce had b een f inali zed. Th e Jacksons later found out about Robards' action in p lantin g th e article, and that he had never Completed the divorce. Later , Rache l en sured th e divorce was Completed.[citation needed] She and J ackson r emarr ied in 17 94.
