- William G. McAdoo, 1863-1941, American lawyer and politician
William G. McAdoo
(1913 - 1918)
Seeking a Secretary of the Treasury with financial experience who was not too closely identified with Wall Street, President Woodrow Wilson found lawyer-businessman William G. McAdoo (1863-1941). The pressing issue of the era was bank reform, which had been gaining attention since the Panic of 1907, and it was clear that some kind of central banking system was needed. . . .
In a short Bio in the University of Virginia's American President, An online Reference Resource, we learn that, while not many people can claim to have married the boss' daughter, but William McAdoo did exactly that when he married Eleanor Randolph Wilson, the daughter of President Wilson, at the White House in 1914.
