All in the Family

A further explanation of the reference to John Harrison in the previous post:

That was a roundabout way of saying that Benjamin Harrison is the only president who was the grandson of another president. His paternal grandfather, William Henry Harrison, was president, albeit very briefly. William H. Harrison died one month after his 1841 inauguration. John was son of William and father of Benjamin.
