Wasn’t there another traitor named “Mudd” — involved with the Lincoln assassination? Dr. Mudd? Perhaps they’re related and share the traitor gene.
Looks like working for the C.I.A. enables you to scrub your personal information and family history from the internet. There was a Samuel Mudd that was involved. Wonder if that is his ancestor?
