Here is the direct link to the printable article, but click quick before
you have to pay the Globe:

WRGers know of the President's relation to Norman Rockwell through Henry
Whitney, but they're also related (along with the Senator and a certain
Sir Winston C.) through Henry Sherman of Dedham mentioned in the
article. Kinnexions.com shows a large number of notable Henry Sherman
descendants not of the male line and thus with different surnames. We
should do up a similar list for John Whitney.

I had no idea Roberts was a Houstonian. He's a whiz, alright, but, oh,
if he'd only learned his manners in one of the more genteel cities of
the Confederacy...

Cheers,
