There is no such group. The Umayyads were supported by the Sunnis because they had temporal power, but the Sunnis never had a requirement that the ruler need be a descendant of the Umayyads; their precondition for having the right to rule was having the power to effectively govern.Perhaps this question confuses the Shiite requirement that a rightful ruler be a descendant of Ali ibn AbuTalib. Ali and the Umayyads were enemies and are in-no-way related.
