Note: This is just one of
1,325
family groupings listed on
The Political Graveyard web site.
These families each have three or more politician members,
all linked together by blood, marriage or adoption.
This specific family group is a subset of the
much larger Four Thousand
Related Politicians group. An individual may be listed
with more than one subset.
These groupings — even the names of the groupings,
and the areas of main activity — are the
result of a computer algorithm working with the data I have,
not the choices of any historian or genealogist.

Buchanan (who was at the time being indicted by a federal grand

resolutions against Marshall; the charges, including malfeasance
in the handling of past cases, were investigated
by a House Judiciary subcommittee, which held hearings in New York,
and inquired into the proceedings of the grand jury which had
indicted Rep. Buchanan; Marshall wrote a critical letter to the
subcommittee, impugning its motives; based on this letter, the full
House voted to find him in contempt
of Congress, and ordered his
arrest; on appeal, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the
authority of the House to punish for contempt extended only to
actions which directly interfered with its proceedings.
