John Catron was nominated to the United States Supreme Court by President Jackson on the final day of his presidency, March 3, 1837. The United States Senate confirmed the nomination on March 8, 1837, and president Martin Van Buren issued his commission, and thus appointed him, the same day. Jackson also nominated William Smith to the United States Supreme Court on his final day in office. Jackson and Smith had attended the Bullock's Creek Presbyterian school together as children in the Waxhaws. The Senate confirmed Smith on March 8, 1837, but he declined the appointment.
