Roger Clinton, Sr.

Roger Clinton, Sr. (July 25, 1909 – November 1967) was the stepfather of Bill Clinton."My Life", Bill Clinton, Random House, 2004, ISBN 0-375-41457-6]

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.Fact|date=February 2008

Reportedly Roger Clinton's family came from West Virginia and was of Cherokee heritage.

He died in 1967 of cancer.
