List of children of presidents of the United States

Theodore Roosevelt and Edith Carow Roosevelt with their children. Children from left to right: Quentin Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt Jr., Archibald Roosevelt, Alice Longworth, Kermit Roosevelt, and Ethel Roosevelt Derby.

The following people are children of U.S. presidents, including stepchildren and alleged illegitimate children. All full names with married names are given except for Theodore Roosevelt III and Herbert Charles Hoover. Currently there are 33 confirmed, known living presidential children, the oldest Lynda Bird Johnson Robb, the youngest Barron Trump. Two presidential children, John Quincy Adams and George W. Bush, have become president in their own right.

Presidential children have been studied individually and as a class. As individuals they are more often notable in their own right than most individuals: They disproportionately circulate among political and social leaders and the wealthier classes, and they are more likely to be scrutinized as part of celebrity culture. Additionally, as individuals they frequently have significant influence on other family members. For instance, a child may have had a significant influence on the child's parent: acting as a sounding board, or having behavioral issues that affected the parent's beliefs or performance. John Scott Harrison is the only person to be both a child of a U.S. president and a parent of another U.S. president, being a son of William Henry Harrison and the father of Benjamin Harrison.

As a class, the children of presidents have also occasioned significant study. Study has generally followed two paths: The issue of what access and inclusion within the circles of power does to individuals' lives, aspirations, and outcomes; ^[1] and the issue of their influence on society and politics. ^[2]

Notes

1. James Monroe wrote that his only son died on September 28, 1800. The date of September 28, 1801 that is said to appear on the James Spence Monroe gravestone in the St. John's Episcopal Church (Richmond, Virginia) churchyard is not contemporaneous to the child's death, the location of the actual grave remains unknown. ^[14]
2. He had a mistress, Eliza Dolph, who had a child, but it is unclear who the baby's father was.
3. John Donelson was not related to Rachel Donelson Jackson
4. Frances Parke Lewis was the step great-granddaughter of George Washington ^[19]
5. Clarissa Pike was the daughter of Zebulon Pike, who discovered Pike's Peak
6. William Henry Harrison Taylor was Anna Tuthill Harrison's cousin
7. Some sources spell this name as Octavia Pannill Taylor. ^[32]
8. Octavia's illness was described by her father as "bilious fever." ^[33]
9. Margaret's illness was described by her father as "bilious fever." ^[33]
