In 2009, a twelve-year-old girl from Bakersfield, California, BridgeAnne D'Avignon, published a poster that she created with her grandfather that traces the lineage of all of the presidents of the United States, with one exception, to a common ancestor -- King John of England. The poster presents the genealogical connections that D'Avignon uncovered linking the presidents through hundreds of years of ancestors to the medieval king. According to D'Avignon's research, only Martin Van Buren, the eighth U.S. president, was not a descendant. |
