James Earl Carter, Jr. (born Oct. 1, 1924):
Carter had three younger siblings: sisters Gloria (1926–1990) and Ruth (1929–1983), and brother "Billy" (1937–1988). During Carter's presidency, Billy was often in the news, usually in an unflattering light.
He is a first cousin of politician Hugh Carter. He is a half-second cousin of Motown founder Berry Gordy on his mother's side, and a cousin of June Carter Cash.
He married Rosalynn Smith in 1946; they have three sons, one daughter, eight grandsons, three granddaughters, and two great-grandsons. They celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary in July 2011, making them the second-longest wed Presidential couple after George and Barbara Bush, a position they have held since passing John and Abigail Adams on July 10, 2000.
