Famous people who were Land Surveyors?

John Benson. Infamous for not completing all of his surveys

I have a little list of GLO contract deputy surveyors (I use the term "surveyor" loosely in this particular application) whose work (or extreme lack there of) has afforded them the distinction of "infamous" and "notorious" (at least among the surveying community).
