Birth Name: George Prescott Bush

Place of Birth: Houston, Texas

Date of Birth: April 24, 1976

Ethnicity:
*English, some German, small amounts of Welsh, Irish, French, Scottish, Dutch, Swedish, and Belgian (Flemish), and 1/256th Moravian (father)
*Mexican (mother)

George P. Bush is an American politician, attorney, U.S. Navy Reserve officer, and real estate investor. He is the 28th Commissioner of the Texas General Land Office, having began serving in the post in 2015.

George is the son of Columba Bush (born Columba Garnica Gallo) and politician Jeb Bush (John Ellis Bush), who served as Governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007. George is the grandson of Barbara (Pierce) and the 41st President of the United States, George H. W. Bush (George Herbert Walker Bush), and the nephew of the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush (George Walker Bush).

George’s father is largely of English ancestry, with some German roots, and a small amount of Welsh, Irish, French, Scottish, Dutch, Swedish, Belgian (Flemish), and 1/256th Moravian, ancestry. George’s mother is Mexican, from León, Guanajuato, Mexico.

George’s paternal grandparents are George Herbert Walker Bush (the son of Prescott Sheldon Bush and Dorothy Walker) and Barbara Pierce (the daughter of Marvin Pierce and Pauline Robinson). Prescott served as a United States Senator from Connecticut from 1952 to 1963. Marvin was the president of McCall Corporation, a publisher of women’s magazines McCall’s and Redbook.

George’s maternal grandparents are José María Garnica Rodríguez and Josefina Gallo Esquivel. José was from Arperos, Guanajuato, Mexico. Josefina was from León, Guanajuato, Mexico.

There is a claim on several web sites that one of George’s paternal great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfathers, Victor Emanuel Bechi, was Italian. It is not clear if this claim is accurate. Victor Emanuel Bechi is described in one reference book as having come from “Strasburg in the Province of Alsace-Lorraine” (in “Americans of gentle birth and their ancestors”, Volume 1, Hannah Daviess Pittman, Genealogical Pub. Co., 1970). That suggests that Victor Emanuel Bechi may have been of ethnic German origin. The surname “Bechi” can be Italian.

George is a sixth cousin, twice removed, of actress Lily James. George’s paternal great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, Sarah Horton, was a sister of Lily’s paternal great-great-great-great-grandfather, Stephen Horton. Their parents were Comfort Horton and Joanna Wood.
