Rachel and Andrew Jackson were a strong couple, but their marriage had an unconventional start. Rachel's first marriage was to Lewis Robards, but she was so unhappy in this marriage that she left her husband and moved back to her childhood home. It was at this time in 1790 that she met Andrew Jackson, who was living as a lodger in Rachel's mother's house. Because Rachel believed she had already achieved a divorce from her first husband, she accepted Andrew Jackson's proposal of marriage, and they were wed. However, it was later found that the original divorce had not yet been finalized, meaning that the Jacksons had to marry again in 1794, their first union having been declared invalid for reasons of bigamy.
