Good idea, Roger, but, sorry, it's not Ninian Edwards!

Hint #1: You might be more familiar with his property than with his likeness.
Hint #2: He was a wholesale grocer. |

RE: Who is this person?
Very smart, Herr Beckert! I'm sorry to say no - not he.
Hint #2: This gentleman lived in Virginia, and was once sort of plundered by Unionists. (He was given money though, but without having agreed to the "deal"). |

Wild guess - Nicholas Austin Quesenberry? (Mrs. Quesenberry's deceased husband)

Another excellent guess, Roger! Well, hint #2 refers to something that had happened some time before the assassination.

Hint #3: More than once this gentleman provided (his private) facilities for military purpose.
Hint #4: On the hint#2 occasion, he was (most likely) given 60$ for two tables (some sources would sum up to 75$). |

Very good, Joe! This is correct.

No dancing around the point and elaborate sugar coating. So, what do you want - jewelry, sports cars, family homes? Well, I just checked the prize vault, and unfortunately this all is out of stock. Please let me know what else instead will be appreciated. |

Maybe we'll just do the Mildly Amused German Dance, Eva.
