He is a direct descendant of "Jeb". ...about mid 20's, red hair, etc. (Pardon me for staring.) My son-in-law, works there too.

You just never know where you'll come across a Civil War connection. Last night I was watching an old You Bet Your Life episode (I own the DVD)- and one of Groucho's guests was the grandson of U.S. Grant. The gentleman looked like his grandpa- and even smoked a cigar. The episode was from the 1950's.
