Rumors was that he was to marry her for her money since she was in a wealthy family. Buchanan maintained an ironclad silence about the relationship throughout the rest of his life. He asked to come to the funeral but her father refused him to come. He wrote a letter what happened - sealed it - before he died, had friend destroy it. born April 23, 1791 near Mercersburg, PA highlights: State Legislative Service: PA (1814-1815) House of Representatives: PA (1821-1831) Senator: Pennsylvania (1834-1845) Cabinet Service: Secretary of State (James K. Polk, 1845-1849) worst ranked President by many historians for not doing anything to help prevent the Civil War.
