Uncle Sam
[edit]according to the Uncle Sam page, the origin of the figure is unknown, so i added alleged. however, i have no clue if this page is right, or the uncle sam one
also, it should be added why he is the source
- I added the ref. to the book "Uncle Sam" according to which there seems to be no proof for this. Of course, it's dated 1908. Kwikwag (talk) 00:10, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Assuming all his four kids survived to have children of their own, and an average of 3 kids for the 12 generations (fairly conservative for 1800s and most of the 1900s even factoring in infant mortality, as you have TFR of around 7 in the early 1800s), you would expect something like 2m descendants. Obviously knowing the first couple of generations fate would get a much better estimate, but it is going to be a very large number after that many generations. --86.161.73.164 (talk) 00:37, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
I know of at least 4 living descendants (myself as well as my mother, grandmother, and uncle). I'll be happy to talk more about it privately. Mantrius (talk) 21:13, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
Yes, there are descendants. We're not, like, as numerous as the stars in the heavens or anything like that, but we're around. :-) Nothing very special about us; to the best of my knowledge none of us are industrial meat packers. 24.166.211.194 (talk) 06:31, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
