Mary Elizabeth "Betty" Taylor Bliss Dandridge (née Taylor; April 20, 1824 – July 25, 1909), was the youngest of the three surviving daughters of President Zachary Taylor and Margaret Smith.

In 1848, after her father was elected president, Mary Elizabeth married William Wallace Smith Bliss, an army officer who had served with her father. Taylor appointed William Bliss as Presidential Secretary. At the age of 24, Mary Elizabeth Bliss served as First Lady during her father's presidency, as her mother declined the social role.[1]
