Without cheating and looking it up, Frederick Douglas in 1856. Just a wild shot.

Correct. Harrison was the last guy with a beard.

Mary Harrison McKee, daughter of Benjamin Harrison.

So long as we're on the topic, who is the only First Lady to have performed as First Lady for more than one President?

IIRC, Dolley Madison was considered First Lady at various times during widower Thomas Jefferson's time in office.

This should be a fairly easy one:  which three Presidents each won the popular vote in at least three different presidential elections?

Cleveland, Jackson and FDR. Cleveland is a guess. I suspect Jefferson is another, if truth be known about 1796.

Both of you are correct, and it seems that SP beat you by 31 seconds, Torie. Wink

I deleted by post, because I screwed up the quotes, and then that other guy butted in. Smiley

Which presidents have held public office after leaving the presidency (excluding any appointed envoy type offices).

Quincy Adams served in Congress. Taft was on the Supreme Court if that counts. That is all I can think of, off the top of my head.

In June 1826, 18 past, present and future presidents were alive, from Adams to Hayes.
