"Six Degrees of Separation" to President Woodrow Wilson

Once upon a time.... there was a husband and wife named William Little Hull (1786-1836) and Lydia Packard Hull (1781-1970). They had a 4x great grandson... that would be me! However, they also had a 3x great grandson, Donald Wilson Thackwell (1912-1962), who married a woman named Mary Faith McAdoo (1920-1988). The marriage took place in Delicias, Mexico 1946. I don't know when they were divorced but her next marriage was in 1966. Mary was the daughter of US Secretary of the Treasury William Gibbs McAdoo. Mary was also the granddaughter of US President Woodrow Wilson!
