My Relationships to U.S. Presidents - Post 2: Presidents 34-38

I can't seem to stay away from Geni.com and their search capability to find relationships with living persons.  I spent some time today working backwards in time looking for my connections to the Presidents.  I did six of them in My Relationships to United States Presidents - Post 1: 39 to 44 (posted 2 October 2014).

1)  Gerald R. Ford (born Leslie Lynch King), 38th President of the United States, is my 8th cousin:

The common ancestor is Elizabeth (Mott) (Ricketson) Wing (1659-1723).  I am fairly confident that this relationship is correct.

2)  Richard Milhous Nixon, 37th President of the United States, is my 8th cousin twice removed:

My common ancestors with Richard Nixon is Henry Howland (1604-1671) and his wife, Mary (1605-1674).  I am fairly confident that this relationship is correct.

3)  Lyndon B. Johnson, 36th President of the United States is my 13th cousin:

My common ancestor with Lyndon Johnson is Sir Robert Throckmorton of Coughton Court (1451-1518).  I have little confidence that either my line or Lyndon's line from Sir Robert is correct.

4)  John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States is my 11th cousin twice removed:

My common ancestors with John F. Kennedy are John Irby (1520-1553) and Rose Overton (1521-1579).  I have some confidence that both my line and Jack's line from John and Rose are correct.

5)  Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th President of the United States is my 12th cousin 5 times removed:

 My common ancestors with Dwight D. Eisenhower are Richard Melton (1485-1550) and his wife.  I have little confidence that either my line or Dwight's line from from Richard Melton are correct.

6)  I did not check the records for each relationship shown in the charts above.  I am confident that my lines back to the immigrant ancestors from England are correct, but I have no idea how accurate the lines are from the immigrants back to the common ancestors to the Presidents.  Some are well researched, and have entries in the book by Gary Boyd Roberts, Ancestors of American Presidents (1989).
