First “first lady” to be the daughter-in-law of a president and first to serve as co-hostess (with Emily Donelson).
Sarah Yorke served as co-hostess with Emily Donelson, per President Jackson’s request, when Emily’s name became associated with the Peggy Eaton Affair.
Given her short time in the role, there is little available information about her performance and accomplishments as first lady.
