Republic of Money: How Tim G. got his name

[Hannah Bell]

There are several Timothys on Tim Geithner's maternal side, so I'm assuming he was named for one of them. But all seem to be namesakes of MA politician & notable Timothy Fuller 1778 (or of one of his namesakes):



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Fuller

Timothy Fuller had a passel of distinguished children:

Sarah Margaret (1818) "became the first editor of the transcendentalist journal The Dial in 1840, before joining the staff of the New York Tribune under Horace Greeley in 1844. By the time she was in her 30s, Fuller had earned a reputation as the best-read person in New England, male or female, and became the first woman allowed to use the library at Harvard College."



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Fuller

As a foreign correspondent for the Trib (first woman) she met the Italian revolutionary Mazzini & became pregnant by his follower the Marquis Ossoli, fled Italy when France invaded, & died with Ossoli & their child in a shipwreck off Fire Island the same year.


Ellen (1820) married the transcendentalist poet William Ellery Channing (Harvard).

Arthur Buckminister (1822) (Harvard, Harvard Divinity) became a Unitarian pastor & died in the Civil War. His grandson (& Tim Geithner's maternal grandmother's second cousin) was Buckminister Fuller (1895).

Richard Frederick (1824) (Harvard) became a lawyer.

His son Frederick Timothy's (1850) daughter Lucy married the "millionaire clubman & philanthropist" Philip Cabot, a "real estate trustee & investor".

Cabot was a nephew of "Senator Lodge," I assume Henry Cabot Lodge:

Philip was also an investment banker with White, Weld:

and then a professor at Harvard Business School.


Another of FT Fuller's daughters married the prolific artist/illustrator Griswold Tyng:

Tyng's granddaughter Susan Farmer was a two-term Secretary of State of Rhode Island (RI's first female) starting in 1983 & the long-time director of RI's PBS station.

Richard (1824) Frederick's daughter Margaret married Philip Marquand (1867), and their son was the writer John Phillips Marquand (1893):

Marquand was creator of this literary icon:



Marquand's first wife was Christina Sedgwick, niece of the editor/owner of the Atlantic Monthly Ellery Sedgwick:

and first cousin to the father of this Sedgwick:

Marquand's second wife was Adelaide Ferry Hooker, whom he met while touring China in 1934-35. His bride-to-be was also touring China, with the "Garden Clubs of America".

Interesting time to tour China.

On her mother's side she was Ferry-Morse seed; on her father's side she was Hooker Electro-Chemical. IOW, great wealth on both sides.

Adelaide Hooker's sister was Blanchette (1909).


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blanchette_Ferry_Hooker

She was the wife of JD Rockefeller III, brother of David (1915), the only living grandchild of JD I.



JD III founded the Asia Society:

Blanchette & JD III were the parents of "Jay" Rockefeller (1937), current Senator from West Virginia.


Peter F Geithner, Tim's father, is an advisor to the Asia Society, as well as the Rockefeller Foundation & the China Medical Board, all Rockefeller creations.

John P. Marquand (1893) was a first cousin to Tim Geithner's grandmother Adeline Nichols (1905):

Arthur Boylston Nichols, Tim's maternal g-grandpa, was a founder of the Harvard Krokodiloes (acapella group) who became an "investment counselor":



The founding Harvard Krokodiloes are David Garrison Binger '49 (from left), David Scull Biddle '49, Francis Higginson Cabot '49, and Arthur Boylston Nichols III '48. (Photo couresty of Harvard Krokodiloes)


His daughter Adeline Nichols married Charles Frederick Moore, son of an industrialist & Eisenhower advisor & Ford Motors VP.

Moore's daughter Deborah was Geithner's mother.

Hannah, even though you and I have had disagreements...

this is an excellent thread. It is so crazy that you have traced
Tim Geithner to the original crime family the Rockefellers. We have been ruled forever by the same families.

5. Social adjustments according to wealth is the leading cause of death to empires.

Rich kids get a boost up the leadership ladder, because of inherited wealth regardless of natural abilities. Eventually a psychopath like Gorge Bush gets adjusted to the Top of power. Definitely not a good situation for society...

Tim Geithner should be in jail, not making monetary policy.

Sadly, very smart kids grow up and find themselves in a downward adjustment and not able to achieve their full potential because their family was not wealthy. This too is very bad for society...

It is, in affect, messing with nature, and when we start choosing leaders through social adjustments according to wealth, and not abilities, society begins to fall apart.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner.

Thank you for another outstanding OP, Hannah Bell.

What's in a name as long as it keeps America safe for Big Oil and Wall Street?
