1. Johnson died in '73

so she outlived him by 34 years. I don't know of any other first ladies that survived that long after, but it's possible.

10. Grover Cleveland married a teenager while president. I bet his widow matches that record

Dolly Madison lived on until the age of photography, so she's another likely suspect.

Damn you all, now I must Wiki the answers

11. i looked up Dolley Madison

she only outlived James by 13 years.

12. Ulp my bad. She wasn't a teenager; Frances married Grover at age 21

He died in 1908, she remarried and lived until 1947. They were 27 years apart in age. His middle name was not Dalton.

14. bu she remarried...Lady Bird did not

she lived only for her children and grandchildren

I remember that, I was a second semester freshman in college and I was 17.

4. Lady Bird received Secret Service protection for 44 years - which may be a record
