Does anyone know of a SASS that is related to Col. Cornelius Gilliam? And if so, how did it come about that his name was used for this? 
 

thank you, 

Col. Gilliam’s Niece

Yes, that SASS alias rings a bell with me.  A few years back, I used to see it in some of our forum discussions.  If I remember correctly/

A SASS Alias name is requested by a member as part of their shooting personna.  If the requested name meets SASS guidelines and is not registered as a SASS alias yet, the SASS office assigns the requested alias to the member requesting it.  Then, when they shoot or converse here on the Wire (forums), the alias name is used rather than real names.

Never have heard of a family member asking about an alias being assigned to one of our members.  If you have a serious concern, then you should contact the SASS office by email or phone.

good luck, GJ

Yes, I know that alias!

I am related to Col. Cornelius Gilliam.  He is my 4th Great Uncle.

I researched my family tree and became interested in the Col.  He had very a colorful/interesting life. I've been using this alias since about 1996.

He died in Oregon Territory in 1848 while serving as the highest ranking officer in the Territory commanding the militia during the Cayuse Indian war.
