“A movement in the Arkansas delegation to back Winthrop Rockefeller as a “favorite son” candidate led to their becoming the only brothers in U.S. history to receive votes for president at the same major-party convention.”
This quote from the “Nelson Rockefeller” article is factually incorrect.
At the 1884 Republican Convention, Sen. John Sherman of Ohio and his brother Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman both received votes for president.

The article stated that no major American party had ever nominated a divorced person for president to that point in history. Adlai Stevenson, nominated by the Democrats in 1952 and ’56, was divorced.
