Hannah Van Buren

Hannah Hoes Van Buren was the wife of the eighth President of the United States, Martin Van Buren. She died in 1819, before Martin Van Buren became President. He never remarried and was one of the few Presidents to be unmarried while in office. During his term, his daughterinlaw, Angelica, performed the role of hostess of the White House and First Lady of the United States.

She was born to Johannes Dircksen Hoes , and Maria Quakenbush who were of Dutch ancestry. She was taught in a local Kinderhook school by master Vrouw Lange. Like Martin, she was raised in a Dutch home and never did lose her distinct Dutch accent. Van Buren was devoted to his shy, blueeyed bride, whom he always called Jannetje, a Dutch pet form of Johanna.
