Ninth President of the United States in Congress Assembled: February 2, 1787 to January 21, 1788

St. Clair’s courtship of  Phoebe Bayard  was a short-lived as they were married within six months on   May 24, 1760 at the Trinity Episcopal Church. Phoebe Bayard's dowery, bequeathed by her grandfather, James Bowdoin, amounted to 14,000 pounds (WPM p. 73) .  Arthur St. Clair, virtually overnight, became an exceptionally prosperous and well-connected with his marriage to Miss Bayard. 

St. Clair resigned from the army on April 16, 1762, as the hostilities had ceased in Canada and there was no longer need of his services. What he and Phoebe did between 1762 and 1767 is unknown.
