About more cousins

This is gonna be one hell of a family reunion!

Note: I totally stole this information from other web sites. All you need to do is Google "famous Mayflower descendants" or anything similar and the rabbit holes are endless. And I also didn't calculate the cousin relationships. That was another Google search. Links are below.

For what it's worth: We all know that if it's posted on the internet it's true, right?  


Descendants of Richard Warren

  • President Franklin D. Roosevelt. 8th Great grandson. [7th cousin 6x removed]
  • President and General Ulysses S. Grant. 5th Great grandson. [6th Cousin 7x removed]
  • Henry David Thoreau. Author and Poet. 5th Great grandson. [6th Cousin 7x removed]
  • Alan B. Shepard, Jr. Astronaut. 8th Great grandson. [9th Cousin 4x removed]
  • Orville and Wilbur Wright. Aviation pioneers. 8th Great grandsons. [9th Cousins 4x removed]
  • Orson Welles. Actor. 8th Great grandson. [9th Cousin 4x removed]
  • Julia Child (1912-2004) Chef. 8th Great granddaughter. [9th Cousin 4x removed]

  • Matt Damon. 10th Great grandson.
  • Richard Gere. 10th Great grandson.
  • John Cena. 10th Great grandson. Professional Wrestler/Actor. Typically a pro wrestler wouldn't interest me so much (at all) but he has granted more "wishes" for the Make-a-Wish Foundation than anyone else, therefore he gets a nod.
  • Marie-Chantal Miller. 10th Great granddaughter. Crown Princess of Greece. 10th Great Granddaughter. [11th Cousin 2x removed]
