Wow! I had been thinking of Tecumseh as a potential target due to General Sherman, but didn't consider him as an answer for this round.

 Is it Tecumseh?
It is Tecumseh! I refrained from saying there was a connection to the previous subject. But yes, the General Sherman tree was named after William Tecumseh Sherman, and William Tecumseh Sherman was named after the Shawnee leader Tecumseh.

 What was the time frame in the 1700’s that is excluded due to the Pluto being close to the sun question? We know it excludes 1979 - 1999, is GM assuming 248 years, so 1741-1761?
Hm, I didn't think of that. Assuming a 248 year orbit, with a 20 year period of being closer to the sun, I think the period would be 1731-1751. In that case, the answer is still no - this person's birth/death did not occur in that timeframe. If we go back another 248 years - this person's birth/death also did not occur from 1483-1503.
