None of the above. I vote for Longstreet, Lee's second in command at Gettysburg. Weirdest fact about General Longstreet: his wife died in '62.
1962. 99 years after the Battle of Gettysburg.
I kid you not. She outlived him by 58 years, despite the fact that he lived far enough into the 20th century to read about the Wright brothers' first flight.

Sure, his much younger second wife, who was not even born when the civil war began.
