Edmund Reade (1563-1623) married Elizabeth Cooke (before 1578 - about 1637). They had two daughters: Margaret (1598-1672) and Elizabeth (1615-1672). Margaret is a direct lineal ancestor of George W. Bush and Elizabeth is a direct lineal ancestor of John Forbes Kerry, Bush's opponent in the 2004 U.S. Presidential election. Bush and Kerry are eighth cousins. (from Ancestry.com)

Interesting isn't it? My husbands side of our family are also descendants. Many probably are, though I would like to prune John Kerry off of ours.

Yes and they are both members of the Skull and Bones secret society, at Yale University. They were both questioned about this and said "It's so secret I can say anything about it".

Isn't everyone in U.S. politics related? It's certainly a very narrow political upper class...
