Best Answer

The word here would be 'ancestor'.

Reese Witherspoon claims to be a descendant of John Witherspoon but she is in error.

According to 'The Descendants of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence, Vol. 3' the last male Witherspoon in John's lineage was born in 1924 therefore negating Reese's claim to direct descent.

Similar surnames do not make legitimate claims for direct descendancy.
