Sophia Nicklin Dallas was the Second Lady of the United States during the administration of James K. Polk.
Her husband, George Dallas was not only the Veep, he was a political rival of James Buchanan.
Sophia must have been a middle child, as there are no known likenesses of her…sorry Andy!
She was the daughter of a wealthy Philadelphia merchant and most notably the grand daughter of Benjamin Chew, the man who represented the Penn family in the Penn-Calvert dispute.
You may remember that dispute as it resulted in the proper border of Maryland and gave us the Mason-Dixon Line.
Sophia bore eight children while married to George; she elected to eschew Washington D.C., remaining in Philadelphia most of her husband’s term, visiting the capital occasionally but rarely.
The main stream media had nothing to say about it.
