Eleanor Roosevelt's maiden name was Anna Eleanor Roosevelt. She was a distant cousin of FDR, and one of the ways he wooed her was by telling her she wouldn't even have to change her name. She was the daughter of Elliot Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt's younger brother.

i never wanted to be a president's wife
Eleanor Roosevelt
Yes. They were distant cousins. FDR and Fmr. President Theodore Roosevelt were fifth cousins. Coincidentally, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (she never had to change her last name) was Theodore Roosevelt's niece. So, to answer your question Eleanor Roosevelt was Franklin Roosevelt's fifth cousin's niece.

I think that's pretty obvious she was the first lady!

That was Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of Franklin and niece of Theodore. She did not have to change her name when she married.
It has been rumored that in 1940 she was going through a little bit of a depressed phase and began to smoke away her troubles.
this exact same question is on my worksheet for the story of Eleanor Roosevelt. anyways, Eleanor wanted her husband not to give up and to keep aiming for his goals despite the fact that he had the disease. She mainly want Franklin to run for president because that's all what Franklin wanted before the disease. She encouraged him ( unlike his mother who told him to not run for president because of his illness) to run for president and he did. i do not know the answer to the other part of the question though. sorry
