Woodworth political family

The Woodworth political family is a collection of American and Canadian politicians who descend directly from colonial settler Walter Woodworth. They rose to prominence in the 19th century, serving in several states, in the United States House of Representatives, the Canadian House of Commons, and produced America's first Surgeon General. In the modern era, two United States Presidents claim lineage to Walter.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
