The nearby small town of Johnson City, Texas, was named after LBJ's father's cousin, James Polk Johnson, whose forebears had moved west from Georgia. Baines, the grandfather of Johnson's mother, was also the president of Baylor University during the American Civil War.Johnson's grandfather, Samuel Ealy Johnson Sr., was raised as a Baptist and for a time was a member of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Johnson received 409 votes on the only ballot at the Democratic convention to Kennedy's 806, and so the convention nominated Kennedy. Tip O'Neill was a representative from Kennedy's home state of Massachusetts at that time, and he recalled that Johnson approached him at the convention and said, 'Tip, I know you have to support Kennedy at the start, but I'd like to have you with me on the second ballot.' O'Neill replied, 'Senator, there's not going to be any second ballot.'
