TRUTH !!
After President Madison's death in 1836, and with half their plantation and lands already sold to pay off the debts of Dolley's wastrel and alcoholic son from her first marriage, Dolley Madison (1768-1849) had to sell the remaining half of the plantation, her furnishings, and all but one of her slaves to pay off more of her son's debts. Although Congress paid her $55,000 to edit and publish several volumes of Madison's papers, most of that went on her son as well. She finally sold her remaining slave, Paul Jennings, to an insurance agent, but the famous politician Daniel Webster negotiated to buy Paul shortly afterwards and gave Paul his freedom in exchange for his working the debt off as a servant. Unable to find a buyer for the rest of Madison's papers, Dolley then lived in poverty. It wouldn't be until the year before her death that Congress purchased the remaining papers. Until that time, Paul Jennings would write of Dolley in his later biography that "In the last days of her life, before Congress purchased her husband's papers, she was in a state of absolute poverty, and I think sometimes suffered for the necessaries of life. While I was a servant to Mr. Webster, he often sent me to her with a market-basket full of provisions, and told me whenever I saw anything in the house that I thought she was in need of, to take it to her. I often did this, and occasionally gave her small sums from my own pocket, though I had years before bought my freedom of her".
