Good riddance. By the way, I wouldn’t call a nephew a descendant.

No, but every news source I have seen describes him as one.

BTW, I am a distant relative of Henry Clay. Just in case there is any controversy about him, I am available to comment.

A 3xgreat grandnephew is what you would call a collateral descendant, if I’m not mistaken.

Certainly wouldn’t call a “4th great-nephew” any kind of “descendant” to be claiming. Like a monkey’s uncle. And all for publicity to nay say a Mexican War hero, and Commandant of West Point, whose battlefield tactics and maneuvers are still studied there for our young officer corps.
