Are the latter two some of the same folks?

rustybayonet:

Not John Adams --- it was Franklin D. Roosevelt -- descendant of both - John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley
also , both Bush's -- from both Howland and Tilley
John Howland also had descendant Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt
John Howlands brother 'Henry' {came in next trip to Plymouth had descendants Richard Nixon/Gerald Ford& W. Churchill
Fear Brewster had a descendant -- Zachary Taylor
also read somewhere that Dan Quale is a descendant but have not found or verified.
Libertas:
Peregrine! ::gaah:: Missed by that much!
Next trip? Winthrop Fleet 1640, I have ancestors on that one. My ancestor had descendents that would marry into Roosevelt & Delano clans, US Grant, JQ Adams, Hancock Lee, Zachary Taylor, George Parke Custis & Robert E Lee, Jefferson Davis & William H Taft. My mothers uncle did a whole bunch of research and came up with a chart showing past notable descendants...I did a show & tell on it way back in grade school once.
Anybody with ancestors that far back though is going to have a lot of cross commonality in relations, hard to avoid. Interesting though.
