In its very earliest days, yes, along with John Adams and John Jay. So to be exactly precise you’re correct. But the Federalists were more a faction that believed in a stronger central national government and the last time they occupied the still-under-construction-and-not-yet-white White House was in 1801. But the dividing lines were fluid. For example, Madison was one author of the Federalist Papers, but also a founder with Jefferson of the Democratic Republican Party (ancestors of today’s Democrats).
