Merry Christmas to all you triviola players and Wood Centralians in general.

Frederick Nelson
Did he also get his picture on a rather large denomination bill?

Answers so far......
Thomas Skaggs, Foothills of Mount Level
So far I have 3 guesses. 2 seem to be the same....possibly all 3. But I cannot rule Lee's guess as incorrect.

Gary Smyth
I admit if the England (English person) part was a red herring and the answers so far indicate he was an American at first I thought it was the kite guy. Seeing from the response that is not the case I'm leaning toward a Southern architect, a former President, a statesman and also a likeness part of the monetary system.

Lee was the first of several with the correct answer of Thomas Jefferson. As we speak, elves are preparing a Golden Uni for delivery.
Merry Christmas to all!
