I don't have the lineage between Arthur Howland and Winston Churchill, but in
reference to Karen's message, I have seen some questions on the Wilcox
connection

Churchill is related to Roosevelt: he is an eighth cousin, twice removed of
FDR through his descent from Arthur Howland, brother of Mayflower passenger
John Howland. Arthur did not, however, accompany John Howland on that famous
voyage to America.

Churchill's mother was descended from John's brother Arthur, who did not sail
with John on the Mayflower.

John Howland is the son of Henry and Margaret Howland of Fenstanton,
Huntingdon, England. Henry died on 17 May 1635 in Fenstanton, and Margaret was buried
on 31 July 1629. Besides son John, who came on the Mayflower, they also had
Humphrey, Arthur, Henry, George, and Margaret. Henry came to Plymouth sometime
before 1633, and Arthur came sometime before 1640.
John Howland is an ancestor to President George Bush, and to First Lady Edith
(Carrow) Roosevelt (Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt). Presidents Richard Nixon and
Gerald Ford are descendants of John Howland's brother Henry. Winston Churchill
is descended from John Howland's brother Arthur.

Howland, Nathanial Howland Jr., Nathanial Howland Sr., Joseph Howland, John
Holland.
