The new names are all descended from a common ancestor by the name of Samuel Lathrop who lived in Connecticut in the late 1600s:

• Benedict Arnold, infamous Revolutionary War general and traitor.
• Thomas E. Dewey, Governor of New York and failed presidential candidate.
• John Foster Dulles, U.S. Secretary of State and airport namesake.
• Clint Eastwood, legendary actor and Mayor of Carmel, California.
• Ulysses S. Grant, Civil War general and President of the United States.
• Frederick Law Olmstead, landscape architect who designed Central Park in NYC.
• Anthony Perkins, the lead actor from the classic movie "Psycho."
• Mitt Romney, Governor of Massachusetts and presidential candidate.
• Adlai Stevenson, U.S. Senator and failed presidential candidate.
