Erroneous "more prominent descendants"
[edit]I have changed the second sentence of the article from the following:
Among his more prominent descendants are General Robert E. Lee and U.S. presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush, as well as professional baseball player Ryne Harper.
None of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Robert E. Lee were descendants of this person, Richard Cocke. Ancestor tables for all three leaders can be found on the oft Wikipedia-cited famouskin website, links here:
• George Washington
• Thomas Jefferson
• Robert E. Lee
Conversely, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush do indeed descend from him, so they were retained. A link to the elder Bush's ancestor table, which includes Richard Cocke, is here:
• George H. W. Bush
The ancestry of baseball player Ryne Harper was not checked.
