Cousin Richard
From Biography: https://www.biography.com/people/richard-nixon-9424076

I'm still checking for famous ancestors via the WikiTree Relationship Finder, and am surprised to learn how many U.S. Presidents are my relatives.

I went down through the whole list of 45 in order, while nervously eyeing some of the more modern Presidents at the end of the list. It was almost a relief to find that the family trees from Jimmy Carter to the present are all private. However, Richard Nixon turns out to be my 10th cousin. He might be yours, too--I'll be happy to share him.

Here are my famous Presidential relatives, in chronological order:

William Henry Harrison. 7th cousin, 5 x removed. *

Millard Fillmore. 7th cousin, 5 x removed.

Ulysses S. Grant. 5th cousin, 4 x removed.

Rutherford B. Hayes. 6th cousin, 4 x removed.

James Garfield. 11th cousin, twice removed.

Grover Cleveland. 8th cousin, 4 x removed.

Benjamin Harrison. 9th cousin, 3 x removed.

Theodore Roosevelt. 8th cousin, 3 x removed.

William H. Taft. 9th cousin, twice removed.

Calvin Coolidge. 8th cousin, once removed.

Herbert Hoover. 6th cousin, 3 x removed.

Franklin Roosevelt. 8th cousin, once removed.

Richard Nixon. 10th cousin. We share a 9th great grandfather, John Newhall, who was born about 1557 and died about 1605 in Olney, Buckinghamshire, England.

Gerald Ford. 8th cousin, once removed.
