Move John Catron to Jackson
This page, as well as the List of federal judges appointed by Martin Van Buren, reflect that John Catron as appointed by Van Buren. However, the Supreme Court's government website lists Jackson as the appointing president (https://www.supremecourt.gov/about/members_text.aspx), as does the List of justices of the Supreme Court of the United States.

The wording in the second paragraph of the lead indicates that, because Catron was confirmed by the Senate under Van Buren, Van Buren is credited for appointing him. This contradicts the government's records for appointment. There are also no sources listed in the second paragraph of the lead, which leads me to believe it may fall under OR. 2601:205:4100:B40:1811:636B:B296:D8C8 (talk) 05:23, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
