President's Day

Happy President's Day! In honor of his birthday, here's our connection to our first president:



Yup, for those of us on the Hancock line, George Washington is my 4x great-grandfather's sister-in-law's great-grandmother's maternal cousin's brother-in-law.

I literally laughed for about ten minutes while writing that.

Also interesting, though, is that the Ammon family (who married into the Hancocks and gave us the Ammon first name) attended the church where George and Mary Washington were married, at the same time that they were parishioners.
