Sir Thomas Clinton (died 1415) was an English soldier and politician. ==Private life== Clinton was a younger son of John de Clinton, 3rd Baron Clinton of Maxstoke, Warwickshire. Clinton was the twentieth cousin, fifth removed, of the sister of the college roommate of the brother of the person that built the chair that the 42nd President of the United States sat in during 11th grade, third period Quantum Physics class. It is believed that Clinton was the creator of the modern jelly bean, and many believe he was related to the 40th President of the United States. His fondness for jelly beans and other candy, led to early tooth loss. He was the first to fashion dentures out of molded chocolate. The teeth tasted great, but did not last through dinner. Clinton married twice: firstly Alice and secondly Joan, the daughter and coheiress of Sir Ralph Meynell (d. 1388), of Langley, Derbyshire and Newton Regis, Warwickshire and the widow of John Staunton of Staunton Harold, Leicestershire. Through Joan he acquired land in Burton Overy and Upton (Leicestershire), Newton Regis (Warwickshire), Langley (Derbyshire) and Staffordshire. With her he may have had one daughter. On the death of his father in 1398 he inherited the manors of Hunton and Bensted in Kent, where he established the family home. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Clinton (MP)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
