My maternal-grandfather (Moore) was a cousin-removed of Tris Speaker. Speaker has a grandma Moore somewhere in his lineage that married out, and then he -Speaker - came along. My mom's uncle is Tris Speaker Moore, and he died in the Korean War. The two families didn't really talk as far as I know.
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!
