No, according to my mom the only person of note was an alleged horse thief from her side of the family. I don't know if he was guilty or not, he was found on the stolen horse and hanged before there could be a trial.

Apparently he wasn't famous for it because she never mentioned his name, only the crime.

Answer 34

Not that I know of and it wouldn't matter to me if I were.

When I was a kid, my grandmother kept pounding into my brain that her great uncle was a German baron and that I should behave like a "little lady" because "You have noble blood in your veins". Since I was the quintessential tomboy, I hated it. As a teenager, I discovered that this uncle was executed for being a part of a failed ************* plot on the Kaiser.

So, should I be proud that I have noble blood in my veins or ashamed that I'm rather closely related to a wannabe ********?

It's all about what you, yourself do. I do admit that being around someone with a famous ancestor is fun as ******** party conversation. I once lived 3 doors down from a direct male descendent of Davy Crockett. He was a hoot and treated his ancestry as a good joke.

I think that bragging about your ancestry is like the garden lizard bragging that his g'g'g'g'g'g'great-grandaddy was a T-Rex.

My cat could still shred him.
