Huh. I wonder which Chief Justice has sworn in the most presidents.

There have been a couple of periods where a number of single-terms happened in succession, so I imagine probably at some point in either the early 19th or 20th centuries.
Well, it depends on how you look at it.

Chief Justice John Marshall did the swearing-in process 9 times (but with 5 different presidents). Chief Justice Roger B. Taney did the swearing process in 7 times (with 7 different presidents).

According to supremecourthistory.org, John Marshall holds the record for both the number of presidents sworn in (5), and the number of times the oath of office was administered (9).
But Taney sworn-in 7 separate presidents? Huh
