| | James Standifer, Congressman |
 | | James White, the father of Hugh White, and William Standifer, the father of James Standifer, had served together in the militia of Hawkins County, North Carolina (now Tennessee), in the 1790s. |
 | | Senator Grundy, however, told Polk in June of 1835 that, "I suspect old Standifer has played the dog," and was assisting Bell in the attacks upon Grundy. |
 | | While Bell's presence at the caucus indicates that he had thrown in with the White campaign, it is equally clear that the true political intimacy existed with Standifer, Lea, and White. |
