10th Great-Grandparents
Samuel Hinckley
Married Sarah Soole: May 17, 1617

Died: Oct. 31, 1662 in Barnstable Mass.

It sure would be an awkward family reunion. But, believe it or not, Barack Obama is related to both President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

OK, distantly related: Obama and Bush are 11th cousins.

That's because they share the same great- great- great- great- great- great- great- great- great- great grandparents -- Samuel Hinckley and Sarah Soole Hinckley of 17th century Massachusetts.
