Gen. Philip Sheridan is one of my g-g-uncles (his parents are my g-g-g-grandparents).
There was serious talk of him making a presidential bid, but the rumors were floated that he was born on the ship coming to the US from Ireland, instead of being born in Albany, NY. (there was no birth certificate, just a baptismal certificate).
Interesting. Didn’t know Sheridan was considered presidential material at one point. That’s a neat relation.
