OK, scrap my original answer; due to another 11th hour find, here are the correct answers:
1. Who was the lieutenant general? Lieutenant General Jubal Early. The bounty hunter character named "Jubal Early" appeared in the 14th and final episode ( "Objects in Space" ; aired in 2002) of the science fiction TV series, "Firefly". The part was played by actor Richard Brooks.
2. Who was the actor to whom he was reportedly related ? Nathan Fillion. Fillion claimed to be a descendant of Jubal Early; however, genealogical research has shown that Nathan and Lieu. Gen. Early are not related; Nathan's line leads back to ancestors named "Ehrle" or "Oehrle" in Germany, while the Lieu. Gen.'s line leads back to Donegal, Ireland.
