I'll take Benjamin Franklin in the category of Inventor. He is a distant relative.
Ben Franklin invented bifocals, which I think is pretty significant. He started the first newspaper in the US, the first fire department, was a diplomat, involved in the Continental Congress and fathered dozens of illegitimate children.
