US Presidents: Lists and Records

First a list of the political dynasties who have served as President.

Presidents related to earlier presidents

James Madison: half first cousin twice removed of George Washington
John Quincy Adams: son of John Adams
Zachary Taylor: second cousin of James Madison
Grover Cleveland: sixth cousin once removed of Ulysses Grant
Benjamin Harrison: grandson of William Henry Harrison
Theodore Roosevelt: third cousin twice removed of Martin Van Buren
Franklin Roosevelt: fourth cousin once removed of Ulysses Grant, fourth cousin three times removed of Zachary Taylor, fifth cousin of Theodore Roosevelt
Harry Truman: great-great-great nephew of John Tyler
Richard Nixon: seventh cousin twice removed of William Taft, eighth cousin once removed of Herbert Hoover
George Bush: fifth cousin four times removed of Franklin Pierce, seventh cousin three times removed of Theodore Roosevelt, seventh cousin four times removed of Abraham Lincoln, eleventh cousin once removed of Gerald Ford
George W. Bush: son of George Bush

Secondly, Barak Obama won't be the first black President, if elected, as apparently there have been five black Presidents before him.

African-American Presidents

Note: Several presidents were allegedly of mixed European and African ancestry, which by U.S. reckoning would designate them as African-American. See The Five Negro Presidents by J.A. Rogers and Six Black Presidents: Black Blood, White Masks by Auset Bakhufu.

Thomas Jefferson
Andrew Jackson
Abraham Lincoln
Warren Harding
Dwight Eisenhower
