But, in short, with no explanations, because I really don't have time tonight to try to recreate the whole thing:
Admiral (Sir) Levering Smith ... uncle and one of the most brilliant scientists ever.
Judge Thomas H. Bacon, best friend of Sam Clemmons growing up and one of the people used by Mr. Clemmons in creating his character of Tom Sawyer. (The judge was Admiral Smith's grandfather.)
Reverend Hunter Lewis (my grandfather) known as the "Preacher of the Rio Grande" .... lots of information around on him if you put that search in Google ... he was a character.
John and Abby Seymour ... aunt and uncle, most people would have seen them in roles on TV or movies or on the Broadway stage. They never made it to "star" status ... just your basic working actors. However, they did make the cover of Newsweek one time.
However ... they'se all daid an' gone now. Yessir ....

Really? You aren't shiteing me? I envy people who have family histories. I have none other than knowing my grandparents were from the Nashville area. so sad. No names, no history. Oh, my mom did like to use to tell me her grandmother was a Cherokee princess. Usually while she was drinking. Like 90% of the people claiming partial indian heritage today don't say the same thing......
