Best Answer

Williams Tweed, also known as "Boss" Tweed, was a notoriously corrupt political figure in 19th century New York City. Tweed used his influence to amass a great deal of wealth and power through political patronage, bribery, and manipulation of contracts for public works projects. His corruption severely impacted the city's finances and led to significant mismanagement of public funds. Tweed's corrupt practices eventually led to his downfall and arrest.

Is the Tweed family related in some way to Mary queen of scotts?

According to the 1891 UK census, the Tweeds were a widespread family, 90% in England (London, Essex, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Yorkshire), and 10% in Scotland. The Scottish branch of the Tweeds lived mainly around Lanarkshire. They or their possible relatives the Tweedies married daughters of the Douglas and the Stewarts at least twice during the 1200s and 1300s. The Douglas are a Gaelic family, the Stewarts (and, I have reason to believe, the Tweeds) are of Breton origin. At ancestry.com.uk and ancestry.com.au there are numerous genealogies of the Tweeds that may be of considerable interest.
