Under what administration was James M Carlisle the head of the bar of the Supreme Court?
Both Benjamin Franklin Butler and later Felix Grundy were Martin Van Buren's Attorney
Generals. Things haven't changed much in in Washington DC, if your the head of the bar
of the Supreme Court, your going to lunch with these guys.
I know for sure Historian Thomas Carlisle is connected in some way to Martin Van Buren
and/or Andrew Jackson. The Yale Skull and Bones could very will also be connected through
Aaron Burr and the Livingston's of Judge Robert R Livingston. Aaron Burr was Martin
Van Burn's mentor. Steamboat inventor Robert Fulton was married to Judge Robert R
Livingstons sister. Alexander Hamilton was also married into the Livinston family when he
married General Phillip Schuyler's daughter Elizabeth.
