About Dolley Madison
Dolley Madison was a US First Lady, the wife of the fourth President of the United States, James Madison. She was born in a Quaker community called New Garden - now known as Guilford County, North Carolina. Her father, John Payne, was a farmer and starch manufacturer and her mother, Mary Cole, was like most women of the era, a homemaker and primary caregiver.
She was first married to lawyer John Todd, Jr. with whom she had two sons John Payne and William Temple. Her husband and son William would both die from Yellow Fever. In 1794, she was introduced to James Madison, 17 years her senior, by her friend Aaron Burr. The Madisons had no children of their own, but raised Dolley's John from her first marriage.
