[edit] Ice Cream
She was the first president's wife to serve ice cream in the White House. that should be mentioned...anyone? anyone?
And the trend caught on from there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.117.245.99 (talk) 17:28, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
According to an episode of "The Presidents" that recently aired on the History Channel, ice cream was a very popular dessert in the Madison White House. And Dolley's favorite flavor was oyster! Apparently, pistachio ice cream hadn't been discovered yet. :-) Randomstew (talk) 13:45, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
She acted as the first lady during the Thomas Jefferson administration? That is an odd statement. In what way, exactly, did she act as the First Lady?
- Well, the First Lady of the United States article itself explains why this makes perfect sense - the role is simply as "hostess of the White House" or somesuch. Nonetheless, I agree that the sentence as it stood could be confusing to some, so I've added a small clarification. - IMSoP 20:20, 15 Jan 2004 (UTC)
her husben james madison died then she remarried to another man
[?] Jaimes Madison, was Dolley's 2nd, and last, husband. She did not remarry after Madison's death.
What's up with the image here? Dolley's fat or father?
[edit] The Todd ladies
Is Dolley Madison, née Todd, any relation to Mary Lincoln, née Todd? --Angr (t·c) 08:01, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
Née? Speak English, please, and then maybe someone will be able to understand. Matt Yeager 07:36, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
[1] Née is English. [2] No, Dolley was born Dolley (possibly Dorothea) Payne. She acquired the "Todd" from her first husband, John Todd, Jr. - Nunh-huh 07:46, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
Well, technically, Née isn't English, but a French term used in the English language. However, that is not the point of this discussion... -- Rodent Meat 02:15, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
