Well one of mine was apparently hung as a horse thief..
However another was supposedly a assistant for General Grant in the Civil War. They said he joined under the age and was in Grant's division. Once they found out he was way too young he was supposedly made his assistant. I do know I had another relative on the on the Southern side and supposedly they were both at the battle of lookout mountain on apposing sides.
Then one of my Grandmother's brothers was awarded the medal of Honor during WWII for killing lots of Japanese on one of the islands. He supposedly took out a machine gun position with a bulldozer.
