Presidential connection
Karen K | Monday, February 20, 2012 Previously, I played a few songs from an album in honor of George Washington, the first president of the United States.
I'm extremely proud to claim this great man as my cousin.
We share descent from William WARNER (1540-1611) and Alice HUNT (1541-1600) of Norfolk, England. They were Washington's 4th great-grandparents, and my 12th-- making us 5th cousins 8 times removed.
Washington's ancestral line: William WARNER (1540-1611) > Thomas WARNER (b. 1580) > Augustine WARNER I (1610-1674) > Augustine WARNER II (1642-1681) > Mildred WARNER (1671-1701) > Augustine WASHINGTON (1694-1743) > George WASHINGTON (1732-1799).
My ancestral line: William WARNER (1540-1611) > Samuel WARNER (1560-1589) > William WARNER (1585-1648) > Abigail WARNER (1614-1671)> Thomas WELLS (1647-1734)> Abigail WELLS (1683-1753)> David BARTLETT (1713-1796)> Priscilla BARTLETT (1756-1832) > Priscilla DAVIS (1798-1828) > Sophia H FITTS (1823-1880) > Mary O PURINTON (1851-1898) > Frank B PALMER (1888-1958) > Dorothy E PALMER (1918-1984) > S HOWES (1937-1999) > Me.
