Alexander Hamilton carried on an affair with the wife of "a notorious political schemer," Maria Reynolds. Andrew Jackson married Rachel Jackson before her divorce from Lewis Robards was finalized and therefore was accused of marrying a married woman.

Jackson also championed Margaret O'Neill Timberlake, who married his secretary of war, John Eaton.
