LOL...

While I was in my sophomore year, I went out for a short period of time with a girl named "Mary Mudd" and it turned out she was the great, great granddaughter or a great, great, great granddaughter of Dr. Samuel Mudd, who was imprisoned for setting the leg of Booth.

He did get pardoned, but his conviction was never overturned.

There was a lot of evidence tying Mudd to the conspiracy; while his actions at the prison healing Yellow Fever victims at the prison in the Dry Tortugas were laudable, his role in fixing Booth’s leg and in advance of the murder meeting with the conspirator make it likely he was involved. The CBS newsman Roger Mudd was a descendant of Dr. Mudd as well.
