Peggy O'Neale Timberlake, a bar hostess with something of a reputation, married John Eaton, Jackson's Secretary of War . Mrs. Calhoun considered her trash, would not socialize with her, nor anyone who did. Jackson thought his cabinet and the vice-president and their wives should be friendly with each other. Later, when Calhoun was in the Senate, he and Jackson disagreed on the right of a state to secede from the union.
