Mitch 'Wilk'ensen = Ancestor of John 'Wilk's Booth?


For some reason, I always assumed Mitch was a descendant of John Wilks Booth. Many folks will change their last name to avoid being associated with infamous ancestors Was this just a bad coincidence or was this so subtle no one mentions this obvious connection.

Connection was obvious and confirmed a few times.
That's why Mitch wanted his name on the discovery of city of gold, to change his family's legacy.

Connection wasn't obvious, and it wasn't confirmed. He said he was descended from a confederate general. Anything beyond that, you're just making stuff up.

Maybe he was related to the guy who actually grabbed the paper out of the fire. The one who shot Ben's Great Great Great Grandfather.
