Presbyterian minister. Delivery was at the local hospital in Ballinger, Runnels County,<br />
Texas.<br />
English King George VI and his daughter, Queen Elizabeth II, visited Washington, D.C. the<br />
month I was born. They were the first British sovereigns to visit the United States. They are<br />
my 32nd cousin, once removed, and my 33rd cousin, respectively. This was the year Nylon<br />
stockings first went on sale and Bryon Nelson won the U.S. Open golf tournament June 12.<br />

Though there are no direct lineal relationships to me <strong>from</strong> United States Presidents, there<br />
are distant cousin relationships with at least 20 of the 44 Presidents. See a chart on my<br />
personal web site: http://www.dasharpe.com/geneology/Presidents.htm<br />
It is interesting to note that there are cousin relationships to all four of the Presidents<br />
featured in the 60 foot high sculptures of Mount Rushmore in South Dakota: George<br />
Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.<br />
