Reply #53: According to my grandmother and this other lady that did family histories

[WLKjr]

I am a very distant relative of Martin VanBuren's family. Don't know if it's true or not, never really looked into it.

on edit:

I do know this from my grandpa's cousin that has almost completed a famliy history book over 25+ years and has found that his side of the family(my mothers father) had quite a few relatives that resided in the colonies before 1750 and also quite a few that fought in pretty much every American war from the Revoulution up to Vietnam and Desert Storm. The books he has are very detailed and consists of three volumes that are huge. He really spent a lot of time on this.
