Rachel Donelson Robards was already married, to Captain Lewis Robards, when she met Andrew Jackson.
Rachel and Andrew Jackson were married in 1791, but it was later found out that she had not divorced her first husband beforehand, so their marriage was invalid. They officially married in 1794 after she was divorced.
This is why some people made comments about her morality and honour.
