closely related to President Grant than

the eleventh and youngest child of

at Yale in 1888 and was admitted to

seven years in Westfield, Mass, and was
connected with the county court as

the original settlers in Hartford. His
descendants have attained distinction in
many lines Of endeavor. A few examples,
in addition to Mr.. Roosevelt. are !:
Admiral George Dewey, Charles w.
Eliot, president of Harvard for so many
years; j. P. Morgan, the elder, financier:
Curtis D. Wilbur, former Secretary of
the Navy; his brother, DR.. Ray LYMAN

Department. Mr.. Roosevelt is third
cousin to j. p. Morgan, a first cousin
to Warrens Delano Robbins, a nephew
of Frederic A. Delano, but more dis
family related to the others mentioned.
Allied With Strong Families
The fact that Franklin D. Roosevelt
is a fifth cousin to Theodore is not
in itself Of great significance Hundreds
of others are similarly and more closely
related to that great American The
real significance from the viewpoint of
heredity is that the Roosevelt family In
every. generation has allied itself
through marriage with other strong
families. The Roosevelt stock. blended
with the gentle blood Of the South,
produced Theodore whereas. the same
stock, plus the New England Yankee
lines with dash of French Huguenot,
has given us Franklin.
However, despite the Dutch and
Huguenot strains-aEd certainly Roose-
welt and Delano are names of which
any one should be proud-the thirty
second Presidents ancestry is pre-
dominantly English. OF his eight
great-grandparents. six were entirely of
English descent, the other two were
Dutch Huguenot- English and Huguenot-
English. respectively. And Of Mr..
Roosevelt's 16 great-great-grand
it seems most likely that IS were of
pure English stock
By and large, the ancestry of Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt is rather typically
America. His forbears have served their
country well in every crisis, from the
PeQuot Indian uprising in 1887 to the
present time. They have helped to build
America-their descendants will help to
preserve its traditions, to develop its
resources and to defend it under all
circumstances.

affairs of a political nature, although
both were identified with many worthy
causes.
Undoubtedly there have been among
the several thousand descendants OF
other family lines than the two that
have been discussed many who have
played prominent roles in the affairs
of city, State and Nation. One of these
