Sleepy time playing--Geni says Rob Roy is a cousin. And if Clark Gable is my Cousin on the German side, he is Kevin Costner's

Who would have thought we could go Costner, Rudisill, Neff, over to the Hubers and Hershelmans (or Hershelmen) and arrive at Clark Gable, 10th cousin twice removed for me and thrice removed for Kevin. But Rob Roy is much more fun, since this depends upon the story of the man who arrived in Virginia taking the name Mackayhee or something like that. The family was told that his real name was MacGregor but that MacGregor was being forbidden so as to obliterate the family. Hooey Hooey, I thought. Now, our Magruder cousins wrote long dissertations showing THEY were MacGregors. No, no. But us scoffers were wrong. Our McGehee / McGee DNA proves that we are MacGregors, Rob Roy's kin. I love it when DNA cuts through all legends. I love it when Senator John Glenn turns out to be one of our Renfrewshire Glenns. What a surreal feeling a few weeks ago, watch a 2nd cousin once removed playing a composite character in Hidden Figures, so that the man played by the cousin was sort of fictional, and then seeing in the same movie a very attractive young actor playing a distant but genuine cousin behaving admirably. Surreal. Bedtime.
