John Hill, Dorchester > President Taft

These are the three lines of William Howard Taft from John and Frances (__) Hill, of Dorchester, Suffolk Co, Mass. Most links from Ancestors of American Presidents, Roberts, 1995. Both of Taft's parents were John Hill descendants, his mother twice over from a Hill / Breck cousin marriage upstream.
