Andrew Jackson's wife, Rachel Donelson Robards, died from a heart attack in 1828. Although the cause of death was natural, Jackson blamed John Quincy Adams, claiming Adams' campaign had dishonored her.

Yes. In January 1835, Richard Lawrence attempted to shoot Jackson outside the Capitol. After the gun misfired, he pulled out another gun but this also misfired. The chances of two guns misfiring are ridiculously low, so Jackson was unbelievably lucky. This is the first known assassination attempt on a US President.
