Apparently I'm related to Sam Houston on my Dad's side... but that's the only one I know of that's interesting at all.

edit:
Except for the Hunkapillar branch of the family, my mother's maternal grandparents'... Including Nonnie Hunkapillar, Bug Hunkapillar, Dot Hunkapillar, Boy Hunkapillar (apparently not his real name - he didn't have one. He was always just "Boy".)... Apparently the Hungerbieler clan came over from Germany. Before they used the name Hunkapillar, for one or two generations it was Hungerpillar, and before that it was Hungerbieler, specifically Johann Conrad Hungerbieler, who came to the US in 1752 from Dossenheim, Germany.

On my mother's dad's side, my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great (that's nine "great"s), Thomas Dunn, arrived on the ship Temperance in Virginia in 1620, as a 14 year-old, as a servant to Sir George Yeardley, the governor of Virginia, having been born in 1606 outside Yorkshire, England.
