In addtion, I am General A.P. Hill's 3rd cousin 3X removed through his great great grandfather. I am also President Zachery Taylor's 4th cousin 5X removed through his ancestor Richard Henry Lee. This line also makes me a 4th cousin 5X removed of Confederate General Robert E, Lee (who was also President Taylor's 4th cousin as well as George Washington's 3rd cousin 3X removed). I am also distantly related (10th cousins 1X removed) to the late TV actress Lucille Desiree Ball, and perhaps actor Tom Towles.

In all fairness though, the family is not nearly as well researched. Sam Bass I am famous Texas outlaw Sam Bass's 2nd cousin 3X removed. Sam Bass's Canote Line of Descent
