He was married to Hannah Hoes who was born in 1783 and died in 1819 at the age of 35 of tuberculosis. He had four children; Abraham Van Buren, John Van Buren, Martin Van Buren and Smith Thompson Van Buren. He attended a village school within his Dutch community called Kinderhook Academy. When he was sixteen years of age he appeared in courts to observe the cases. He learned a lot from thesecases and they taught him to think quickly and to be resourceful in an argument (Hoyt 10). After graduating from them he became a law clerk, and soon after entered the practice in 1803 (Martin Van Buren). In 1807 he was married for twelve years before his wife, Hannah Hoes, died.
Before he was President he had jobs as a leader. His regular job was a lawyer. He was also New York State Senator from1813 to 1815. He became New York State Attorney General from 1815 to 1819. He worked as a United States Senator from 1821 to 1829. He served as the Governor of New York in 1829. He was Secretary of the State from 1829 to 1831 and the Minister to England in 1831. He became Vice President from 1832 to 1837.
Martin Van Buren was the 8th President. He became President in 1837 and served one term to1841. He was a Democrat and he won the election by 224,175 popular votes and 117 electoral votes. He ran against William H. Harrison. His Vice President was Richard M. Johnson.

Declaring that the panic was due to recklessness in business andoverexpansion of credit, Van Buren devoted him to maintaining the solvency of the national Government. He opposed not only the creation of a new Bank of the United States but also the placing of Government funds in state banks. He fought for the establishment of an independent treasury system to handle Government transactions. As for Federal aid to internal improvements, he cut off expenditures socompletely that the Government even sold the tools it had used on public works.
As a New York politician, he set about building a political organization of his fellow Democratic-Republicans that stressed unity, loyalty, and fealty to Jeffersonian political principles.
