Let's see..
One of my wife's ex-husband's ancestors, and her husband at the time, were tarred and feathered, then ran out on a rail. One of my indirect ancestors, a great-great uncle or something, was one of the mob that did it.
Said ex-husband's ancestor's husband was later shot dead by a neighbor over a dispute whether a road ran through his property or not. Said neighbor was acquitted of murder, calling it a justified shooting.
Someone has been linking family trees up on Familysearch.org, and if the lineage is true I'm descended from a long line of Scottish kings, going back to 140AD. I do have Mayflower ancestors.
My wife qualifies to be a daughter of Texas, she has a Great great (I don't recall how many) grandfather who fought for Texas at San Jacinto.
