I found this photo of Samuel Layfayette Click.  Also, I've included a photo of the rifle made by Click.

None of the stories mention it, but was he African American?  The picture could go either way.

Don't know what you are referring to.

Melungeon, perhaps?

Edited to add: I note that the Wikipedia article says that "Melungeon" is still considered a pejorative term, but I've never run across it outside of a couple history/anthropological books. I'm not using it as such, anyway...

And the fact that I could not find Rob's OP, I was looking for the stories.

 Need to delete some of the $#@* in my head.

Well, like they say on the boob tube, "You're just a Click away!".

Or in military jargon, is his real last name Kilometer?

Well, old S.L.C. Wasn’t afeared of colorin’ outside the lines. I love that triggerguard, it a real work of art. I can’t tell if thats a patent breech or if the nipple is threaded right into the barrel. In any event there is an interesting clean out screw there as well. And a three quarter stock to boot. Nobody’s gonna mistake this for a Bean build.
