Hey—I just found this:
Berry Gordy is related to President Jimmy Carter, and Elvis Presley (yes, I am bored):
Early years
Gordy, Sr. was the seventh of eight children born to the middle class family of Berry Gordy II (a.k.a. Barry Gordy, Sr.)[1] and Bertha Fuller Gordy, who had relocated to Detroit from Milledgeville, Georgia in 1922. Gordy was brought up in a tight-knit family with strong morals.
Berry Gordy II (1888–1978) was the son of Berry Gordy I and a woman named Lucy. Berry Gordy I was the son of James Thomas Gordy, a white farmer, and a female slave in Georgia.
This James Thomas Gordy (1828–1889) was also, by his wife Harriet Emily Helms, the great-grandfather of James Earl Carter, Jr., the 39th President of the United States, making Berry Gordy III and Jimmy Carter second half-cousins. It is also through James Thomas Gordy (and James’ great-grandfather Andreas Presley) that Berry Gordy and Jimmy Carter were sixth cousins to Elvis Presley.
There are 4-5 prisons there in what used to be a huge mental hospital complex. Giant prison farm.
One of the guards and his wife ran a home-style restaurant in an old house in town. The warden took us there. It was so good, I would drive a few hours out of the way to get back. Doubt if I could find it.
That is freaky!!
