FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT, b Jan. 30, 1882; twice elected to the Governorship of New York (1928, 1930); thrice, to the Presidency of the United States (1932, 1936, 1940). In the seventeenth century Thomas Burgess and Claes Roosevelt came to America. Burgess arrived about 20 years before Roosevelt. Thomas was a politician. Claes was not.1 It is possible that our President's political proclivity is of Burgess origin, for he traces his descent along two lines from Thomas Burgess, whereas along but one line from Claes Roosevelt.
Since Franklin D. Roosevelt neither perpetuates the Burgess surname nor belongs to the Kings County Branch, it is obvious he would not be included herein were it not for his distinction.
