John James McCook (professor)

John James McCook (professor) was a member of the Fighting McCook family in the 1800s. They were called the Fighting McCooks because they sent 15 family members to the Union Army. During the Civil War, John James McCook (professor) was an Army chaplain. At that time they called him John James McCook (chaplain).

According to Wikipedia, John James McCook (professor) had a brother John James McCook (lawyer). This reminds me of the song "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt," which is an awesome song.
