Siblings on United States coinage.

It occurred to me the other night that George Rogers Clark and William Clark (of Lewis & Clark fame) represent only the second set of siblings who have been featured on U.S. coinage. William Clark has made it twice!
The first set of siblings that I can think of being John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Eunice Kennedy Shriver.
Can anybody think of any others?

Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...

You're good!
and
and
but the same siblings
Someday, maybe:
Surprisingly, Ethan Allen (of the Green Mountain boys) has never been on a coin, though his brother has.
The Kennedy's were the only politicians that I can think of ..... Pretty exclusive club.... Cheers, RickO
Not too difficult to understand the honors to JFK and RFK, but Eunice is deplorable.
Check out the reverse of the Statue of Liberty half dollar. Appears to be a Father, a Mother and two children.
Adams. Father and son the prez dollars
Lafayette Grading Set
There are a few First Spouse coins with multiple children on the reverse, who can be presumed to be siblings.
Sibling: each of two or more children or offspring having one or both parents in common, a brother or sister.
