[Verginius Rufus]

I was at a meeting the other night when someone mentioned that this year was the 200th anniversary of Grant's birth.

I had a distant cousin, born in 1864, who was named for Ulysses Grant. Another cousin, born in 1871 in Ohio, was named for Robert E. Lee.

My Great-great-grandmother, born in the late 1850’s in South-Western Missouri, had a younger brother born in 1861 by the name of Jefferson Davis Scott. If the family was forward thinking and wanted to be involved in fewer fights, they would have named him Sue.
