Which president would you least want for a cousin?
Except for the obvious two choices :)

Good news: I just found out I'm related to a US president. Bad news: it's Calvin Coolidge. Good news: among other descendants of the same colonial settler are Harriet Beecher Stowe, Mary Baker Eddy, Julia Ward Howe, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and Samuel R.B. Morse.

5. I'm kin to a president as well
Zachary Taylor, the twelfth, and one of the shortest tenured presidents. He got food poisoning at a July 4th lunch and died 5 days later. His son in law was Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederacy. Some historians actually believe that Davis was behind his untimeley death. If this were true, it would make him the first president to be assassinated. As it stands, he was the second to die in office.
