Scroll down to see the explanation of why I am wrong.

With names like "Joe" and "Patterson", it's not unreasonable for your average Joe to have the same last name in an military division in the war. You'd be surprised. With all of the wars, eventually, there will be some coincidental anomalies. Vsauce did that video about coincidences, where 1 photo captured 2 kids, who didn't know each other [i.e.: 1 kid in the background], and then later in life went on to meet and get married.

I'll give you an up vote, but don't go jumping on any bandwagons just yet.

The real point I should make is that the real person behind this email is not this Joe Patterson we see. We need to find who the direct decedents of Ohio Governor Robert Lucas are. That's how they identify themselves in this email.

Where do you get those names?

Do you think it's just coincidence that he has a son named George W? not an entirely uncommon name, but still....

His son George W Lucas is Star Wars George Lucas.

Oh god I am so tired I totally didn't realise how stupid this is given the dates!

googling those names brings up Wikipedia profile of the governor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Lucas_(governor)

Just found it odd that people say that the Owl is the symbol they use for Moloch and Minerva is Athena, who is symbolized by an owl. And he lived at a place called Plum Grove (like Bohemian Grove?), in Iowa City, which I've been to many times and don't think I've ever heard of it.

Yes, minerva is an Owl! maybe it's a cute in-joke about who's responsible?
