A Genealogy of the Wives of the American Presidents and Their First Two Generations of Descent
From Martha Washington to Laura Bush, the wife of each U.S. president has found her place in history, often setting trends and doing important work for the nation. This reference work traces the lineage of all presidents' wives, arranged alphabetically from Abigail Adams to Jane Wyman. Genealogy reveals that some of the women are connected to one another through common ancestry, sometimes even through royal blood--for example, the bloodlines of Laura Bush and Abigail Adams join at King Henry II and can then be traced to King Pepin the Short, born in 714. Several others can be traced back to King John, William the Conqueror, Charlemagne, and Lady Godiva. Clearly organized and easy to use, the work includes not only ancestors but offspring, listing children and grandchildren for each woman. Dates of birth, death, and marriage of ancestors, children and grandchildren are included where known.

The Ludlows of Bucks and Oxon
In the late 1600s the parish registers for Kingsey in Buckinghamshire recorded the birth of Francis Ludlow son of Edward and Elizabeth. It is not clear where Edward and Elizabeth married, nor indeed where they lived prior to the birth of their son. This book contains the story of them, their children and their descendants who bore the Ludlow surname from 1699 to the present day.
THE ROAD I CHOSE
After the Memorial Day Ceremony in 2009 at the Russell Grafton Park in Hume, Illinois, Dana Bowyer a good friend of mine, came up to me and said, “Mo” you should record your history because I believe you have a story that should be told”. I brushed it off and put it in the back of my head. Late in 2010 I thought about what she had said and decided that might be a good thing to do, because my future descendents would have no idea of what I did during my life time, and that I began my life in England and moved to the United States with the man I loved and married. So on January 1st, 2011, I sat down with Bob and told him about my early life, and the life that he and I spent together. Therefore, years after I have departed this planet, I want you, my descendants, to know who I was, where I came from, and some of the events that transpired during my life time on this wonderful earth. This is “The road I chose”.
