W. Bush, and again from 2001 to 2009, during that of George W. Bush. They also played prominent roles in areas of American news, sports, entertainment, and business. They were also the second family of the United States from 1981 to 1989, when George H. W. Bush was vice president. The Bush family is one of four families to have produced two presidents of the United States by the same surname; the others were the Adams, Roosevelt, and Harrison families.

Best known for their involvement in politics, family members have held various national and state offices spanning across four generations, including that of U.S. senator (Prescott Bush); governor (Jeb Bush); and President (George H. W. Bush, who had previously served as vice president, and George W. Bush). Other family members include a National Football League (NFL) executive (Joe Ellis) and two nationally known television personalities (Billy Bush and Jenna Bush Hager) and journalists (John Prescott Ellis).

The Bush family is of primarily English and German descent. The Bush family traces its European origin to the 17th century, with Samuel Bush being their first American-born ancestor, in 1647. According to the Swedish Colonial Society, the Bush family also has Swedish ancestry, going back ten generations to a Swedish farmer named Måns Andersson who migrated from Gothenburg to New Sweden (Delaware).

              • Timothy Bush (1728–1815 in Springport, New York) may have been the son of Richard Bush.
                • Timothy Bush Jr. (1761–1850 in Penfield, New York) was the son of Timothy Bush.
                  • Obadiah Newcomb Bush (January 28, 1797 – 1851) was the son of blacksmith Timothy Bush Jr. and was an American prospector and businessman.
                    • James Smith Bush (1825–1889), an attorney and Episcopal priest in New Jersey, California, and New York, was the son of Obadiah Bush and the father of Samuel Prescott Bush.
                • John Bush (1761–unknown)

Other relatives

  • Robert Coe (1596–bef. 1690), American Puritan colonial and settler of Connecticut and New York states, is the eighth great grandfather of 43rd president George W. Bush through Barbara Bush's maternal line.

  • Winston Churchill (1874–1965), British prime minister, is the sixth great-grandson of Robert Coe, making Churchill and George W. Bush seventh cousins twice removed.

  • Edith Wilson (1872–1961), second wife of U.S. president Woodrow Wilson was also descended from Col. Robert Bolling Sr. so therefore was distantly related to the Bush family.

  • Wild Bill Hickok (1837–1876) was a second cousin three times removed of Prescott Bush.

  • Larissa Lowthorp Descendant of Rev. John Lothrop and Samuel P. Bush; film producer, futurist and philanthropist.

  • Vannevar Bush (1890–1974) engineer and inventor who was head of the Office of Scientific Research and Development and involved with the Manhattan Project during World War II. He and George H. W. are descendants of Sarah Hamlin (née Bearse, 1646-1712) making them 7th cousins once removed. It is unclear if Vannevar is patrilineally related to the Bush political family.

  • Gov. Thomas Hinckley (1618–1706) was a Plymouth Colony governor, and a seventh generation great-grandfather of Prescott Sheldon Bush, so therefore an ancestor of all of his descendants including his son George H. W. Bush and grandson George W. Bush.

  • Mary Parker (1637–1692) was executed by hanging in 1692 for witchcraft in the Salem Witch Trials.

  • Through John May and his wife Prudence Bridge (great-great-grandparents of Obadiah Newcomb Bush), the family is related to U.S. attorney general Charles Bonaparte (1851–1921), U.S. vice president Charles Gates Dawes (1865–1951), actress Blanche Oelrichs (who was also known by the pseudonym "Michael Strange") (1890–1950), and author Louisa May Alcott (1832–1888).

Connections to other prominent families

George Herbert "Bert" Walker (1875–1953) was a wealthy American banker and businessman. His daughter Dorothy married Prescott Bush, making him the maternal grandfather of the 41st president George H. W. Bush and the great-grandfather of the 43rd president George W. Bush. He is also the namesake of the Walker Cup, a men's amateur golf trophy contested in odd-numbered years between a U.S. team and a combined Great Britain and Ireland side.

The influential Lowthorp family, with longstanding roots in American and British politics, military, clergy and business—and strong ties to institutions such as the Freemasons, is related to the Bush family through Samuel P. Bush and Rev. John Lathrop.

Flora Sheldon, wife of Samuel P. Bush, was a distant descendant of the Livingston, Schuyler, and Beekman families, prominent New Netherland merchant and political patrician families.

Barack Obama is a 10th cousin once-removed of George W. Bush, through Samuel Hinkley of Cape Cod.
