Although not a politician, and with a distaste for the task, he was elected
for two terms as president, serving from 1869 to 1877. He was born 27 April 1822
at Point Pleasant, Ohio to Jesse Root and Hannah (Simpson) Grant. Though known
as "Ulysses Simpson Grant," he was baptized "Hiram Ulysses
Grant."

Winston Churchill was undoubtedly one of the greatest public figures of the 20th century. As prime minister of Great Britain during World War II, as a truly great orator, his stubborn refusal to make peace until Adolf Hitler was crushed was crucial to maintaining British resistance to Germany during the grim years from 1940 to 1942. He met President Franklin Delano Roosevelt a number of times, went to Moscow, to the battlefronts and indefatigably worked for the surrender of the Axis forces.
He was educated at Harrow, was a statesman, soldier and author. He served as a member of Parliament, as first lord of the admiralty, colonial secretary, chancellor of the exchequer, among many of the posts he held. He recognized early the expansionist tendencies of the USSR, which he had distrusted from its inception. He coined the phrase, "Iron Curtain."
A truly great man, at the right place at the right time, we are proud to count him as our cousin!
