November 1841 CE
Sam Houston had married for a third time, in Marion, Alabama on May 9, 1840, to twenty-one year-old Margaret Moffette Lea, who had successfully persuaded the forty-seven-year-old Houston to stop his drinking, a habit that has gained him notoriety.
Houston is reelected in 1841 to a second term as president of Texas.
