Theodore Roosevelt (26th US President) and Franklin D. Roosevelt (32nd President) were fifth cousins through their common ancestor of Nicholas Roosevelt. In 1905, FDR marriedâ¦ Theodore's niece, Eleanor Roosevelt, also his cousin.
Meanwhile, Teddy's mother's family was almost as prominent. T.R.'s mother, Mittie Bulloch, was the daughter of a wealthy southern gentleman and granddaughter of a Revolutionary War general. Theodore Roosevelt, Sr. , T.R.'s father, had primary responsibility for raising his children. His wife, Mittie, was a beautiful if stereotypical southern belle who had grown up dependent on slave labor. She didn't care for raising children or household management.
