My Ancestor Played By...

Kevin Kline!!   According to my grandmother, Edwin McMasters Stanton is an ancestor of ours.  Mr. Stanton was Sect. of War during the Lincoln Admin., President Lincoln that is.  There is a movie coming out, called The Conspirator, about Lincoln's assassination.  I guess I had better dig out the info, so I can dig out more info on Stanton...like the connection we have.  Or not have.

  1. This makes me think alot of my New York trip. Since we got to tour where he (Abe) was shot, and where he actually died. Let me know what you find out. Danny's cousin from his mom side just found me on facebook. So I am curious about family history too :)
