Presidental Quiz Answers

B"H

 The answers to the presidential quiz --

A1) John and John Quincy Adams, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt and John Fitzgerald Kennedy (or, as I usually put it, two Adamses, two Roosevelts and Kennedy)

A2) William Henry Harrison and his wife, Anna, had 10 children. John Tyler was the father of 15 children (he had two wives, Letitia and Julia). John Tyler was William Henry Harrison's vice president and Tyler was the first man to become president upon the death of a president when Harrison died one month after his inauguration. (Their campaign slogan was "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" referring to a battle that Harrison won at Tippecanoe.)

An aside -- there is no time when all Tyler's 15 children were alive.

A3) (Stephen) Grover Cleveland (he dropped the Stephen and went by Grover) was a bachelor when elected president, but he married Frances ("Frank") Folsom (the daughter of his late law partner) while he was president. When they moved out of the White House after Benjamin Harrison won the election (Cleveland had won the popular vote), Frank told the staff to leave everything as it was because they'd be returning. Sure enough, 4 years later, the Cleveland family was back in the White House. (aside: Cleveland was the first person to win the popular vote in three consecutive presidential elections, predating Franklin Roosevelt's first election by 40 years. Roosevelt, of course, won a fourth term.)

Frank Cleveland, by the way, was the first First Lady to remarry after the death of her president husband when she married Thomas Jex Preston, Jr. (Jackie Kennedy joined this First Lady "club" when she married Aristotle Onassis).

A4) James Knox Polk, the 11th President. Polk was the first Dark Horse president and also the only Speaker of the House to become president.

A5) Herbert Hoover -- though he was a Quaker, he and his wife Lou were the first presidential couple married by a Catholic priest (he was offered a job as an Engineer in China and he wanted to marry Lou and take her with him, so they needed to marry quickly, so a family friend, who was a Catholic priest married Herbert Hoover to Lou Henry).

A6) Theodore Roosevelt was Eleanor Roosevelt's Uncle -- his brother Elliot was Eleanor's father. James Madison and Zachery Taylor were second cousins. The great-grandfather they had in common was named James Taylor.

A7) Andrew Jackson

A8) Gerald Rudolph Ford -- Ford was the only child of Leslie Lynch King Sr. and Dorothy Ayer Gardner, who divorced less than a year after Ford was born. He was adopted by Ms. Gardner's second husband, Gerald Rudolff Ford.

A9) Ulysses Simpson Grant

A10) Elizabeth (Bess) Wallace and Harry S Truman met in grade school.
