One of the Edwin Conways (3rd?) married Ann Ball, the half sister of Mary Ball Washington,the mother of George. Thus, Washington and Madison were cousins. The Eltonhead connection is interesting, as according to a book on the royal ancestors of the presidents, she desc. from King Henry II (illegitimately through William Longspee)and also from Aethelred II, an Anglo-Saxon king, and of course, their royal ancestors.
