My great-great-great-great Grandfather ran for president 1824,1832 and 1844 and lost all 3 times.
I believe one of my great grandparents was his running mate.
Frelinghuysen?
No, it must be this guy. And since his father's middle name was "Dickinson," presumably because one of his ancestors was a Dickinson, that means that through the Dickinson family line (Emily Dickinson and Dickinson College), Badger and I are distant cousins. Man, Badger and I have a lot in common: we are both lawyers, flip back and forth between the parties as sort of centrist types, although quite liberal on most social issues, like to keep fit, and are Atlas mods.
I saw Sergeants grave last year when I went to Philly.
