John Van Buren (February 18, 1810 – October 13, 1866) was an American lawyer and politician. ==Early life== He was born on February 18, 1810, in Hudson, Columbia County, New York, the second son of President Martin Van Buren and Hannah Hoes Van Buren. He graduated from Yale College in 1828, studied law with Benjamin F. Butler and attained admission to the bar in 1830. In 1831, when Martin Van Buren was appointed U.S. Minister to Britain, John Van Buren accompanied him as secretary of the American Legation in London. Both returned in 1832 after Congress failed to confirm the appointment. John Van Buren then opened a law practice with James McKown in Albany. He is said to have possessed a “remarkable memory”, “his success at the bar was great, but his fame as a lawyer has been dimmed by his wit and his wonderful ability as a politician." He returned to England on his own in 1838-39 (during his father's Presidency). He had spectacular seats at Queen Victoria's coronation, also attended the Queen's prorogue to Parliament, and earned his nickname of “Prince John” after he danced with her in 1838.〔Diary of John Van Buren〕 Van Buren dined with the who’s who of 19th century England, Ireland and Scotland. He also met with the King of France, Louis Philippe I, the King of Belgium, Leopold I, and the King of the Netherlands, William I, (Prince William IV of Orange). On June 22, 1841, he married Elizabeth Vanderpoel (May 22, 1810 – November 19, 1844), his childhood sweetheart. They had one daughter, Anna (1842-1923), and after her death, Van Buren never remarried.
