Was Lyndon B. Johnson Actually Jewish?
The president allegedly had Jewish ancestry.
Rating Unproven
Context
There is no available evidence to conclusively demonstrate that Lyndon B. Johnson had Jewish ancestry. Regardless, he did not identify as Jewish.
U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson cultivated a close relationship with Israel during his time in office in the '60s. He was the first president to invite an Israeli prime minister, Levi Eshkol, to the White House, increased arms sales to Israel, and refused to pressure Israel to give up any land it had captured during the Six-Day War.
Johnson's ties to Israel led to speculation that he could have been Jewish through his maternal ancestors, a claim Snopes readers asked us to look into. One post on Facebook stated:
Lyndon Johnson's maternal ancestors, the Huffmans, apparently migrated to Frederick, Maryland from Germany sometime in the mid-eighteenth century. Later they moved to Bourbon, Kentucky and eventually settled in Texas in the mid-to-late nineteenth century. According to Jewish law, if a person's mother is Jewish, then that person is automatically Jewish, regardless of the father's ethnicity or religion. The facts indicate that both of Lyndon Johnson's great-grandparents, on the maternal side, were Jewish. These were the grandparents of Lyndon's mother, Rebecca Baines. Their names were John S. Huffman and Mary Elizabeth Perrin. John Huffman's mother was Suzanne Ament, a common Jewish name. Perrin is also a common Jewish name. Huffman and Perrin had a daughter, Ruth Ament Huffman, who married Joseph Baines and together they had a daughter, Rebekah Baines, Lyndon Johnson's mother. The line of Jewish mothers can be traced back three generations in Lyndon Johnson's family tree. There is little doubt that he was Jewish.
Some Jewish traditions consider the heritage to be passed down through the maternal line, so Johnson’s purported Jewish heritage is arguably a matter of religious interpretation. We addressed this in a past story where Elvis Presley acknowledged his Jewish ancestry through a maternal great-great-grandmother.
But we do not know if this is the case with Johnson, given that the argument that he is Jewish is based on his maternal ancestors having common Jewish names. What we do know is that Johnson and his parents and grandparents identified as Christian. Johnson’s family attended Baptist churches for a few generations, according to the LBJ Library:
LBJ's mother, Rebekah Baines Johnson, was a Baptist, as were most of her ancestors for several generations. She once expressed the view that she was "grateful for...my Baptist upbringing, sermons, prayer-meeting and Sunday School." Her father, Joseph Wilson Baines, was a leading member of the Baptist Church in Blanco, Texas. She described him as a Baptist "strict in doctrine, broad in charity, large in enterprise," who was frequently heard to say proudly, "I am a Baptist and a Democrat."
LBJ's maternal great-grandfather, George Washington Baines, Sr., was one of the best-known Baptist leaders in the early history of Texas. Reverend Baines accepted a Baptist pastorate in Huntsville, Texas where, incidentally, he was the pastor for Texas hero, General Sam Houston. In 1861, he was chosen to be president of Baylor University, a leading Baptist institution of higher education in Texas and the Southwest, then and now.
LBJ's paternal grandfather, Sam Ealy Johnson, Sr., was raised Baptist. In his early manhood, he became a member of the Christian Church. In his later years, he affiliated with the Christadelphians. According to Lady Bird Johnson, LBJ's father, Sam Ealy Johnson, Jr., also joined the Christadelphian Church toward the end of his life.
