'''Richard M. Johnson''' was [[Vice President]] of the United States from 1837 to 1841 under [[Martin Van Buren]].  In 1806, he represented [[Kentucky]] in the House, but left to fight in the [[War of 1812]].  He claimed to have killed the Indian chief [[Tecumseh]] at the [[Battle of Thames]] in 1813.  This caused the slogan "Rumphsey Dumpsey, Colonal Johnson killed Tecumseh."  He returned to the [[House of Representatives]] and later on to the [[Senate]].  He was the first of the three Vice Presidents named Johnson (the other two are [[Andrew Johnson]], and [[Lyndon B. Johnson]].)  <ref> [[Fandex]], Workman Publishing, 2002.  </ref>
