My wife is related to Enos "Country" Slaughter. Her grandma has a female relative Slaughter that married out of the line, and my wife's grandma became a Ramey. But by using the Slaughter lineage, my wife could become a daughter of the American Revolution.

Anyway, that's pretty decent lineage!

Tris Speaker's family tree is on Family Search. His grandmother's maiden name was Moore. You should check it out. Some lines can be traced into the 1500s for his German side.
