Actually the only lawyer in my family was my great grandfather Trueblood on my mother's side who was a railroad lawyer and became some kind of leader in getting materials to the troops during WWII via the trains. He probably was in his 50s in the 1940s.
He married a Stimson. My great uncle talked about the Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson being around at times but I do not know if I should believe that. My great grandfather did important work though and had a high rank in the Army in the 1940s in WWII.

My great uncle did like to stretch stories quite a bit though. Henry L. Stimson was a lawyer but I am not sure if we are any relation at all.

My godfather is a lawyer but I have not seen him in 50 years.
