*blushes at her earlier mistake*
First Lady was first used for the niece of President Buchanan, a Miss Lane, but I forget her first name. Dolley Madison was called First Lady at her funeral, and other wives of the Presidents picked other titles for themselves. Mrs. Lincoln wanted to be called "Madame President" - it fell on deaf ears.
But President Hayes actually made the title popular for his wife, Lucy.
