Angelica Singleton Van Buren, born Sarah Angelica Singleton (February 13,1818 – December 29,1877) was the daughter-in-law of the 8th United States President Martin Van Buren. She was married to the President's son, Abraham Van Buren. She assumed the post of First Lady because the president's wife had died 17 years earlier and he remained unwed throughout the rest of his life.
Sarah Angelica Singleton was born in Wedgefield, South Carolina, the daughter of Richard Singleton and his wife, Rebecca Travis Coles.
Raised in high society and related by marriage to Dolley Madison, Angelica brought an air of sophistication to her role as first lady.She married Abraham Van Buren on November 27, 1838, in Wedgefield. The couple took an extended trip through Europe and when they returned in 1839, she undertook the duties of White House hostess for the rest of her father-in-law's presidency. After Martin was defeated for re-election in 1841 , Angelica and her husband lived at the Van Buren home of Lindenwald, in Kinderhook, NY, wintering at her family home in South Carolina. From 1848 until her death at age 59, she lived in New York City.
