Franklin Roosevelt is a descendant of Joshua Huntington and Hannah
Perkins,
so he, too, is a descendant of Christopher Barrett. I hope he was
grateful
for the fact that as a politician he was only dumped on metaphorically,
not
literally, as his esteemed ancestor was.

Hello:
how specifically was Franklin Roosevelt a descendant?
Joshua Huntington = Hannah Perkins
Lydia Huntington = Thomas Delano
Ephraim Delano = Lydia Bill
Warren Delano = Deborah Church
Warren Delano = Catherine Lyman
James Roosevelt = Sara Delano
FDR
It's a nice little coincidence that FDR and I both have maternal
grandmothers named Catherine (Katharine) Lyman. However my grandmother was
much more closely related to FDR through the Huntingtons (4th cousins)
than
through the Lymans (7th cousins). I doubt she knew of the relationship but
would certainly have been horrified if she did.
