This year, it seemed only natural to follow up with a ranking of their beautiful wives. 45. Martha Jefferson (died before presidency) Martha was Thomas’ cousin. Apparently, a Jefferson family-reunion is a piss-poor place to meet women. 44. Anna Harrison (1841 - 1841) Anna never even made it to the White House — she was too ill to make the trip from their Ohio home. With that up-do, though, it’s probably for the best. 43.
