Martin Van Buren

1837-1841 
Martin Van Buren
The most compelling evidence of Van Buren's religious history is a lingering rumor that "his voice could be heard above the entire congregation in song" at the Dutch Reformed Church he attended in his hometown of Kinderhook, N.Y. He attended a Dutch Reformed Church when at home and St. John's Episcopal Church, which sits 300 yards from the White House, while in Washington, D.C. There is no evidence that he was a member of either church.
