Termyn8or -> A question about history (11/27/2011 5:48:45 PM)
Exactly where are the descendents from the founding Fathers of this country ? Where also are the descendents of Ceasar(s), Marx, Hitler, or Abe Linclon for that matter ? Where are all these people ? Have the families just died out ? (that may explain a few things but that's not the point right now). T^T

Washington 8000, Lincoln none If youre really interested "living descendents of _______" is a good start.

What was wrong with Lincoln, was he Gay or something ? T^

4 generations of Lincolns but the last apparently died in 1985.

Caesar had one legitment offspring, his daughter Julia who was married to Pompey. She died in childbirth, the child died after a few days. His other offspring was his son with Cleopatra who he never officially acknowledged. The boy was killed shortly after his mothers suicide. The last descendent of Julius's nephew and adopted son Augustus was Nero who did with no living offspring. Caesar could have had numerous bastards. This was all 2000 years ago and because of something called genetic drift we can't trace or scientifically prove modern a modern day person is descended from someone that long ago. The Middle Ages is about how far back we can go. There is something called pedigree collapse the farther back you go the more likely you will find comman ancestors. So anyone of European descent could likely be a descendent of if not Jules one of his cousins. George Washington had no children but Thomas Jefferson has many descendants from both sides of the blanket. Lincoln had four sons only his eldest lived to have children. The last of the direct line died in the last thirty years. There was a theory that Hitler had a bastard son born in 1918 by a French woman. A railway worker with nine children. Most serious scholars disputed this and a few years ago a journalist using DNA from surviving Hitler family members and offspring of the Frenchman proved he was not Hitlers son. Madison and Jackson had no children but Adams and both Roosevelts have several descendants.

Reese Witherspoon did a video about the signers of the Declaration. Evidently she's a direct descendant of John Witherspoon, who was one of the signers.
