This famous scrapbook enthusiast and patent-holder's first patent was issued the same year that he published his fake autobiography. According to that eponymous autobiography, what is the name of his earliest known ancestor? 1. What is the scrapbook enthusiast's last name (surname)? 2. What is the last name (surname) of his earliest known ancestor?
Since no one has answered here is the correct answer. Samuel Clemens (or Mark Twain, both answers are accepted) and the earliest known ancestor was Higgins.
