Thanks for the Millard Fillmore bio ,Gene, but the people who compiled it made some errors.

Fillmore was only the Whig VP candidate in 1848 not 1844 as well. The bathtub story was a concoction of H L Mencken. Fillmore did seek the Whig nomination in 1852 and was the American{Know Nothing} party candidate for president in 1856 despite the fact that Fillmore's daughter attended a Catholic school.

I have read that Thomas Ewing Sr, the formidable patriarch of the Ewing family,whose son,Thomas Jr issued General Order 11 and was Dr Mudd's attorney, and whose daughter Ellen married William T Sherman, was considered to be Taylor's likely VP but was disqualified because of his marriage to a Catholic.
