Download or read book A Genealogy of the Wives of the American Presidents and Their First Two Generations of Descent written by Craig Hart and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Martha Washington to Laura Bush, the wife of each U.S. president has found her place in history, often setting trends and doing important work for the nation. This reference work traces the lineage of all presidents' wives, arranged alphabetically from Abigail Adams to Jane Wyman. Genealogy reveals that some of the women are connected to one another through common ancestry, sometimes even through royal blood--for example, the bloodlines of Laura Bush and Abigail Adams join at King Henry II and can then be traced to King Pepin the Short, born in 714. Several others can be traced back to King John, William the Conqueror, Charlemagne, and Lady Godiva. Clearly organized and easy to use, the work includes not only ancestors but offspring, listing children and grandchildren for each woman. Dates of birth, death, and marriage of ancestors, children and grandchildren are included where known.

This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancestry of Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States of America 1889-1893: In Chart Form Showing Also the Descendants of William Henry Harrison, President of the United States of America in 1841 and Notes on Families Related The following work, for which the undersigned alone is responsible, it having proceeded neither from the suggestion, nor under the supervision, of any one else, is published for its merits as an attempt to show, not merely the paternal line, but all the other forefathers of an individual. The actual forefathers being arranged in a chart, data which have been found as to the collateral branches of some of the families are included, with the evidence for the direct lines, in this Introduction and the notes which follow it, headed by the various names, and an effort has been made to give an account, complete to date, of the Irwin and of the Ramsey family. It is not pretended that the pedigree adds to the distinction of a man who has been President of the United States of America. That office, to be sure, is neither the apex of a system of caste, like a European king's, nor the object of eighteen centuries' veneration, like the Pope's, nor the control of the lives and property of millions, like the Czar's or the ruler of China's; but, at the head of such a nation as ours has become, it is one of the very greatest positions on the earth. Its constitutional functions affect double the extent of territory that Charlemagne ruled. Surrounding the incumbent with no luxury, and rigidly subjecting him to law, it nevertheless resembles, with its unpretentious title, its actual power, its operation through a Senate, its preponderance in a hemisphere, that of the early Roman emperors, before the abrogation of republican forms. Few contemporary lives are as much studied as those culminating, or suggested to culminate, in the White House; and, as the ancestry of any man is a fact, important or otherwise, in his history, it is supposed that, while genealogists will value any work showing how far in each line, male and female, the ancestors of a living American can be traced, other people will be interested in such data concerning a President. The paternal line of the one whose term ended on the 4th of last March is unique from the standing anterior to the Revolutionary War, and the service during it and since. Moreover, while it is rare, in this young country, to find, even among the Presidents, any person all of whose great-grandfathers were Americans, he descends from many families known to have been here nearly two hundred years before his birth. This makes such a work relating to Benjamin Harrison a contribution to the genealogy of many of his fellow-citizens. All the known ancestors who lived in America are mentioned in the chart.

Download or read book Ancestry of Donald Trump written by Diana Muir and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Donald J Trump is one of 'from rags to riches.' Some of his recent ancestors in Germany - the Kohl family - were cabbage farmers. They came from the village of Kallstadt which was famous for wine making. His own grandfather, Friederich, came to the US as a barber. When he moved to Queens, New York, he and his son began to buy property. Friederic died in the 1918 flu pandemic and his son Fred carried on his American Dream. Before long, Donald and his siblings inherited his father's vast real estate empire. However, when looking at his more distant ancestors generations back, his family is anything but ordinary. His father's side, from Kallstad, Germany extends back more than 50 generations to the early Kings, Counts and royal families of Van Kessel, Van Leuven, and Bourgogne, to Childeric and the Merovingian dynasty. His mother's family, the MacLeods, come from the Isle of Skye and the Isle of Mull on the western shores of Scotland. Small, bedrock islands, they have been the home of the MacLeods, MacDonalds, Mackenzies, and MacNeils for centuries, all of whom President Trump is related to. Going back as far 500 BC, the family marries into all the clans of the highlands and also extend back to the Merovingian dynasty and the Sea-Kings of Sweden and Norway. Along the way, many attended the Crusades, some as Knight Templars. It is easy to see that the President seems to have inherited all the passion and authority of his distant ancestors and continues to surprise us on a daily basis. Ask yourself - Are you related to Donald J Trump, the most famous man on earth? If you have German or Scottish ancestry, you most likely are.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ... PHCEBE ELIZABETH DICKERSON-- HARDING Warren Gamaliel Harding Twenty-ninth President of the United States, 1921 WARREN GAMALIEL HARDING is of English-Dutch descent. An ancestor, Stephen Harding, emigrated from England in 1624, and joined the Plymouth Colony at Weymouth, Massachusetts; later he resided at Braintree, in what was to be known as "The cradle of American Independence." In 1663, Jan Jansen ver Kersen, or Van Kirk, as it became known in America, came from Holland and settled in King's County, Long Island. He became the ancestor of Warren G. Harding on his mother's side. Mr. Harding, with an ancestry in this country dating back three centuries, can lay just claim to the purest of American blood. Sixteen of our Presidents have had a military record of their own, and nearly all the others have had an ancestry where there has been the willing response to shoulder the gun and fight our nation's battles when her honor was imperilled. The blood of the soldier flows through the veins of President Harding. His sister, Miss Abigail V. Harding, writes that Josiah Van Kirk, the great-grandfather of Mr. Harding's mother, "gave seven sons to the armies in the struggle for Independence," a record probably unparalleled by any colonist of his day. The same patriotism was manifest on the paternal side. The Hardings were genuine patriots. During the Revolution the Harding ancestors were fighters, as well as the Van Kirks, the ancestors of Mr. Harding's mother. If the facts were known, they may have shed their blood on the same battle-field. "Of the Harding direct line we can readily follow them from generation to generation, from blacksmith to farmer, to sea-captain, from warrior to lawyer, to doctor and senator," and finally President of the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his presidency, Jimmy Carter received a comprehensive analysis of his family's genealogy, dating back 12 generations, from leaders of the Mormon Church.

This resulting volume traces every ancestral line of both Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter back to the original immigrants to America and chronicles their origins, occupations, and life dates. Among his forebears Carter found cabinet makers, farmers, preachers, illegitimate children, slave owners, indentured servants, a former Hessian soldier who fought against Napoleon, and even a spy for General George Washington at Valley Forge. With never-before-published historic photographs and a foreword by President Jimmy Carter, this is the definitive saga of a remarkable American family.
