Notes:
Married Lewis Robards before she was 18. She was very unhappy in her marriage due
to jealosy of Robards in regards to his wife's friendship with a Mr. Short.
Finally, he sent for Rachel's brother, Samuel, to remove her from his house.
Samuel took her to his mother's house in Davidson County, TN, where
Andrew Jackson lived in a nearby cabin on the property. He lived with his
friend John Overton. Lewis Robards later told people that he had divorced
Rachel. Andrew Jackson heard about the divorce but never checked to ensure the
validity of Robards' claim. Andrew Jackson married Rachel Donelson in 1791. Two
years later, Robards, in an effort to embarase the Jacksons,
announced that the divorce was never persued and that Rachel was living an
adultrous life. Sources: Andrew Jackson, The Border Captain by MarquisJames1985
