Perhaps the most extraordinary fact about Cleveland was that he was known for his honesty-not exactly a common attribute in politics. During his first bid for the presidency, news leaked that he had fathered an illegitimate son. Although he was not yet married, a scandal of this nature could ruin anyone's professional career. Cleveland could have easily denied the story; it wasn't even entirely certain if the child was his (he did choose to financially support his son when he learned his lover was pregnant). But he told the public the truth. Despite the initial moral outrage from voters, Cleveland was elected president.

No, he is not. The illegitimate son fathered by Grover Cleveland was born circa 1874, and kept out of public view, although Cleveland's political enemies tried to make a campaign issue out of it, as the above cartoon shows. The child's birth name was Oscar Folsom Cleveland. His birth mother (Maria Halpin) gave him up for adoption, and he never called much attention to himself over the years. Some historians believe he changed his name to James E. King Jr. and became a doctor. If that is accurate, he died in Buffalo NY in 1947.
