Father and Son United States Presidents

Tweet

As most of us know the recently deceased president George H. W. Bush was the 41st president of the United States and was the father of the 43rd United States president George W. Bush. However I did not know this and just read that John Adams , who was our 2nd president was the father of the sixth president John Quincy Adams. Ok, I knew they were presidents but never put two and two together to they were related..... DUH! Did anyone else already know this? Be honest! Also I didn't realize that the 23rd president Benjamin Harrison was the grandson of William Henry Harrison who was the 9th USA president! The 12th president Zachary Taylor was 2nd cousin to James Madison the 4th president. Further more I read that Franklin Delano Roosevelt was proceeded in the office of president by Teddy Roosevelt who was a distant cousin. Plus Franklin Delano Roosevelt has blood relations to four other presidents and relations thru his marriage to six others! Wow! Small world!
