I had an great-uncle who explained to me when I was 15 and he was 95 years old, that his parents said they named him Forrest after the Confederate General, but that his grandfather told him he'd been named after a Revolutionary War officer who served under Washington. His grandfather was a Yankee, his parents were Southerners! Uncle Forrest claimed both men as namesakes! LOL
