Don't know if it counts as a Yankee forefather, but my 
great-great-great-great grandfather was Daniel Boone, first from 
Pennsylvania, then later of Kentucky.

It's because of his sister(?), Sara, that there has been a Sara in every 
generation since.  My sister is my generation.  The next generation's is 
my youngest, Sara Danielle.

"Why, it appears that we appointed all of our worst generals to
command the armies and we appointed all of our best generals to edit
the newspapers. I mean, I found by reading a newspaper that these
editor generals saw all of the defects plainly from the start but
didn't tell me until it was too late. I'm willing to yield my place
to these best generals and I'll do my best for the cause by editing a
newspaper." --Robert E. Lee
