Category talk:First Ladies

Ooh, this reminds me: We never did get around to writing about Varina Davis, did we?

We also could, if we really feel like digging deeply into Hitler's War to write articles about historicals, bang something out on Wallis Simpson. She was wife of a head of state, under the broad definition here advanced.

How many First Ladies (married to sitting Presidents) have we had? 44 Presidents minus one bachelor (Buchanan; not counting Cleveland, since he married before his first term was up) minus four widowers (Jefferson, Jackson, Van Buren, Arthur; not counting Roosevelt, since he had remarried by the time he took office, or Wilson, since Ellen assumed the title of First Lady before her death)=39, plus one because Wilson had two wives during his tenure, gives us 40? That sound right? Turtle Fan 23:11, September 29, 2009 (UTC)
