The usual rules for these quizzes will apply here; whoever guesses right continues the thread, and hints can be given in more difficult cases. You may post any notable individual, although I do have a bias for historical figures. ;)
I'll get us started.

Aemma

Actually Sir Guy Carleton was more instrumental in Canada than in the USA. He was the Governor of Quebec and concurrent Governor of British North America during the 1760's and 1770's. I live in the county of Carleton as a matter of fact (named after the good man) and our city has a high school named Sir Guy Carleton. :) In fact among some French Canadians, Sir Guy Carleton is quite well-regarded since he is the one that advocated for the French to keep some of their language and religious rights in Quebec. Just a bit of Canadiana for you all. :)

And he did help protect Philadelphia during the American Revolution.

I just looked this guy up because I had never heard of him. That guy was awesome. A 6 foot 6 Portuguese guy who was strong as an ox and apparently just manhandled the British opposition during the war. It appears he was kidnapped from the Azores and was meant to be an indentured servant in the South.
@ Brynhild: Nope, that's not him either.
