EVERY U.S. President: except one descended from medieval English king
- 12-year-old girl created family tree linking 42 of 43 U.S. presidents to King John of England, who signed Magna Carta in 1215
- Only eighth president, Martin Van Buren, was not related to John
What do Barack Obama, Thomas
Jefferson, George W. Bush and the other past U.S. presidents have in
common? Besides holding the coveted title of commander-in-chief, it
appears that all of them but one are cousins.
The
remarkable discovery was made by 12-year-old BridgeAnne d’Avignon, of
Salinas, California, who created a ground-breaking family tree that
connected 42 of 43 U.S. presidents to one common, and rather unexpected,
ancestor: King John of England.
‘They all have the trait of wanting power,’ d’Avignon told the station WFMY.
John’s other claim to fame, or infamy, is that he was depicted as the villain in the Robin Hood tales.
lineages of nearly all of the U.S. presidents to King John, the signer
of the Magna Carta
D’Avignon, a seventh-grader at Monte
Vista Christian School in Watsonville, started the project in hopes of
tracing back her own bloodline in France, but somewhere along the way
she decided to take her genealogical quest to the highest level.
In
order to create the family tree, the 12-year-old spent months scouring
through over 500,000 names in search of the ‘presidential Adam.’
Her 80-year-old grandfather, who has been tracing roots for nearly six decades, helped her make the presidential links.
D’Avignon
started with the first U.S. president, George Washington, she traced
both the male and female family lines to make the connection.
Prior
to d’Avignon’s discovery, genealogists were only able to link 22
families of presidents, likely because they only focused on male
bloodlines.
