I wish I was related to him because he was my hero when I was growing up.

You an I are 11th cousins, Loomis on my dad's side but I am related to John Wayne, 9th cuz once removed, Thomas Bliss on my mom's side.

Interesting puzzle

---

Sadly I am stuck at my 3 x GGF Nathaniel Morrison abt 1790 in NC or VA ....and so if there is any connections past that generation to him it won't show up :(

---

Agnes is my 20th great grandmother. So says the connection.

---

Yes. 16C1R, with the common ancestor being Dorothy Vernon Savage.  

The King, the Duke...I wonder what other coolness is next? haha

---

third cousins 20 times removed with many options

He is my 13th cousin through George Strong.

WikiTree says that I am 3C22R to Agnes (Crophull) Devereux, through her father and my mother.

Answer 1

I am as well but like with a lot of celeb profiles who are connected with the tree, you have to go back 6 or 7 generations before you find any siblings listed.  A lot of time it's the direct line only.  So I'll bet some people are more closely related to some of these notables and don't know it.

So just the other day, I added all the siblings of John Wayne's paternal grandparents.    I do that from time to time, add siblings to ancestors of notables.

Much to my surprise, I found that there was a double family marriage in the Morrison family.  The sister of his Paternal grandmother, married the brother of his Paternal grandfather.

On a side note, we should do more than simply connect notables to the tree, we should attempt to fill out their familys more completely.   For example, Actor Lee Marvin is said to be a close relative of Robert E Lee, but his ancestry on wikitree doesn't indicate that.

Hear, hear!  I agree with your point that we'll do well to not just connect notables to the tree, but rather do our very best to completely fill out their family branches.
