  		Edmund McIlhenny Edmund McIlhenny - Married to Mary Eliza Avery Fourth great granddaughter of James. Edmund invented Tabasco Sauce and founded the McIlhenny Company. It's rare for a family owned business to last through the third generation. The McIlhenny Company is going on the fifth generation. While it is said the CEO does not have to be family, so far every one of the CEOs has been a grandson of James.
