Roger Clinton, Sr.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roger Clinton, Sr. (July 25, 1909 – November 1967) was the stepfather of Bill Clinton.[1]
He married Virginia Blythe, Bill's mother in 1950, four years after her husband had died in a car crash. In 1962, Bill took the surname Clinton. A prominent figure in Bill's life, Roger was referred to as "Daddy" in Bill Clinton's presidential memoir My Life. Though Bill loved Roger very much, Roger's alcoholism and subsequent abuse to his wife, Bill's mother, would lead to Bill having to intervene on multiple occasions with physical force, each time resulting in Roger's arrest.[citation needed]
Reportedly Roger Clinton's family came from West Virginia and was of Cherokee heritage.
