Robert Wuhl got it wrong. All 3 of Pierce’s kids died while they were still kids. Barbara Bush is a direct descendant of one of Franklin Pierce’s brothers, not Franklin Pierce himself as Wuhl stated.

I actually know one of his direct male line descendants. (until now because she is a girl)

And she’s Jewish.

GW is a descendant of Polk. That is were his dynasty got its start. Interesting that polk and pierce are both in the bush lineage through marriage. Also i dont really buy the polk and pierce slogan. im not calling anypne out i would just need to see some proof. it sounds awfully modern.

I thought James Knox Polk was the most forgettable. It even took me a while to remember the three name guy.

I would argue that the most obscure president was actually John Hanson, the REAL 1st President of our government: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hanson

Most people don’t even know that there were presidents before George Washington.
