The Bush family is a prominent American
family. Along with many members who have been successful bankers and
businessmen, across three generations the family includes two U.S.
Senators, one Supreme Court Justice,
two Governors, one Vice President and two Presidents. George Herbert Walker Bush and Barbara
Pierce Bush have been married for 65 years, holding the record for
the longest-married presidential couple. Peter Schweizer, author of a biography of the family, has
described the Bushes as "the most successful political dynasty
in American history."[1]
According to some online sources,[2][3]
the Bush family is of primarily English and German descent.

Ancestors
Patrilineal line
- Richard Bush (c. 1696 – 1732 in Bristol, Plymouth Colony) is believed to be the earliest known
patrilineal member of the Bush family in North America.
- Obadiah Newcomb Bush (January 28, 1797–1851) was the son of
blacksmith Timothy Bush, Jr. and Lydia Newcomb, and was born in Penfield, New York on January 28, 1797. He left home
during the War of 1812 and married Harriet Smith (1800-1867) (Cambridge,
New York, May 12, 1800 - Cincinnati, Ohio, June 21, 1867), the daughter
of Dr. Sanford Smith (1760-1815) (Stonington, Connecticut, February 27,
1760 - Scipio, New York, June 15, 1815) and his wife Priscilla Whippo
Smith (1763-1838) (Cambridge, New York, c. 1763 - Pottstown,
Pennsylvania, August 26, 1838), in Rochester, New York on November 8,
1821. He and his wife had seven children. Through his son Reverend James
Smith Bush (1825-1889), he is the great-great-grandfather of former
President George Herbert Walker Bush and the
great-great-great-grandfather of President George W. Bush. In Rochester,
Obadiah was employed as a schoolmaster and was also a well known
abolitionist. He served as vice president of the Anti-Slavery Society
and was on a committee to nominate candidates for justice of the peace.
His brother Henry, a manufacturer of stoves, was also well known for his
involvement in abolitionist activities. He was a participant in the
Underground Railroad, and even petitioned the New York State Legislature
to secede from the Union in a protest against slavery. The Rochester
Daily Advertiser accused him of encouraging "anarchy." Eventually
Obadiah, Henry and possibly another brother or two went off to find
their fortunes in the California Gold Rush of 1849. After two years of
toiling in California he began passage home, by ship, to retrieve his
family in New York. He died, however, aboard ship and was given a sea
burial. According to the book The Faith of George W. Bush: "[He] left
his home during the War of 1812, became a schoolmaster, then caught gold
fever and left for California during the Gold Rush of 1849. Two years
later, he tried to return home to reclaim his family and take them west.
He died in the attempt, though, and was buried at sea. leaving his wife
and seven children alone in Rochester, New York."
