 TN Encyclopedia: EATON AFFAIR
When Andrew Jackson became president of the United States in 1829, he chose John Henry Eaton, his biographer, leading political adviser, and Tennessee friend, to be secretary of war.
The Eaton Affair, therefore, was a societal issue that helped influence the politics of the first several years of the Jackson presidency.
Peggy Eaton was not the sole determinant of the period's politics, but it was the debate over her virtue that provided the focus for the political disagreements that shaped the direction of the Jacksonian coalition and demonstrated society's attitude toward women during these important years.

 John M and Nancy (Benn) Eaton
Of Clarion County, PA; Lee County, IA; and Benton County, MO A Bible belonging to John Eaton's daughter, Emma Lieuella Eaton, has an entry that John M. Eaton was born 12 February 1822, and that he married Nancy Benn on 15 October 1846 in Clarion County Pennsylvania.
It is noted that everyone in the household of Aaron Eaton (John's father) was reported to have been born in Pennsylvania, so perhaps that is the correct state of birth for John.
There is no apparent reason to doubt that the maiden name of John M. Eaton's wife was Benn, or that she was born in Penn. Census records consistently reflect that she reported her state of birth as Pennsylvania.

They arrived at that number by adding five years to the 25-year minimum they had established for House members, reasoning that the deliberative nature of the "senatorial trust" called for a "greater extent of information and stability of character" than would be needed in the House.
Had someone in 1818 chosen to challenge his seating, Eaton could have pointed to the Senate's 1816 decision to seat Virginia's 28-year-old Armistead Mason, or the 1806 precedent to admit 29-year-old Henry Clay.
While he was waiting, his defeated Republican opponent, former incumbent Senator Henry Hatfield, filed a petition with the Senate charging that Holt's failure to meet the constitutional age requirement invalidated his election.
