Scottish Family: The family had been in New York since the middle of the 1600's. The future president was named after his father, whom he once described as "the best man I ever knew." The elder Theodore Roosevelt exemplified the same energy, conscientiousness, and warmhearted devotion to the common welfare that always distinguished his son.
