Fame (Possibilities)

To my knowledge, there is neither a Ben Franklin nor a Sacagawea in my lineage.  I’ve descended from more common stock.  But in looking at the motley bunch that is mine, I can imagine a few near-famous things my ancestors might have been responsible for:          
—I can conceive that one of my distant relatives invented drunk driving.
—Maybe a great, great, great, great, great (not-so-great) grandfather of mine was the reason for inventing handcuffs.
—Possibly, there is a houseplant hypnotist in the mix.
—Invisible ink?
