Dolly Madison was a granddaughter of John Payne, an English gentleman who migrated to Virginia early in the 18th century.

 STRENGTH AND HONOR: The Life of Dolly Madison By Richard N. Côté
When her second husband, James Madison, was chosen to be Thomas Jefferson's secretary of state in 1801, Dolley often served as the president's hostess, as Jefferson had been a widower for many years.
I was fascinated by the conundrum she inherited when she married Madison, for he was a major slave owner, and John Payne, Dolley's Quaker father, had, as a matter of moral imperative, emancipated his slaves a decade earlier.
When Madison served as Jefferson's Secretary of State it was Dolley who assumed the role of official hostess at the President's House, and continued in that position for sixteen years when her husband succeeded Jefferson as president.

She also occasionally acted as what is now described as First Lady of the United States during the administration of Thomas Jefferson, fulfilling the ceremonial functions more usually associated with the President's wife, since Jefferson was a widower.
During her husband's political life, Dolley Madison was noted as a gracious hostess, whose sassy, ebullient personality, love of feathered turbans, and passion for snuff (tobacco) seemed at odds with her Quaker upbringing.
However, probably her most lasting achievement was her rescue of valuable treasures, including state papers and a Gilbert Stuart painting of President George Washington, from the White House before it was burned by the British army in 1814.
