    Just a guess - they were all wartime presidents?

    No. It's more a personal than political answer.

    You can have it. Very close. Well done!

    All were single while in office apart from Buchanan, who was a lifelong bachelor, the others were indeed widowers.

    Oh go on, take it. The Grizzly is a sub species of it. It's Brown Bear but Grizzly is Ursus arctos as a species.

    I would guess that it has Latin origins. Dia meaning "day" and Circa meaning
    "about".
