Angelica Singleton Van Buren

Angelica Singleton Van Buren, born on February thirteenth, eighteen eighteen, was an influential American heiress and the daughter-in-law of Martin Van Buren, the eighth president of the United States. She married Abraham Van Buren II, the president's son, and became a prominent figure in American political society.

Following the death of Hannah Van Buren, Martin's wife, Angelica stepped into the role of first lady. This was a significant transition, as the president never remarried, leaving the duties of White House hostess to his young daughter-in-law.

At the tender age of twenty, Angelica made history as the youngest woman to serve as the White House hostess. Her unique position allowed her to influence social and political gatherings during a pivotal time in American history.
