John Ingham: there’s a plaque with more boring stuff outside of this new park.
Also involved with anthracite coal, canals and he was a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, a Justice of the Peace, a member of United States House of Representatives, a prothonotary (yeah I know, what’s that even my spell check doesn’t know), Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania , Secretary of the US Treasury
Involved in The Petticoat Affair, aka Eaton affair which was a political scandal involving members of President Andrew Jackson's Cabinet and their wives.
Eaton challenged Ingham to a duel through Eaton's brother in law, Dr. Philip G. Randolph, who visited Ingham twice and the second time threatened him with personal harm if he did not comply with Eaton's demands. Randolph was dismissed, and the next morning Ingham sent a note to Eaton discourteously declining the invitation and describing his situation as one of "pity and contempt."
Eaton wrote a letter back to Ingham accusing him of cowardice. Ingham was then informed that Eaton, Randolph, and others were looking to assault him. He gathered together his own bodyguard and was not immediately molested. However, he reported that for the next two nights Eaton and his men continued to lurk about his dwelling and threaten him. He then left the city and returned safely to his home. And so on...
There's actually a book: The Petticoat Affair: Manners, Mutiny, and Sex in Andrew Jackson's Whitehouse.
And you thought our politics are weird?
