[There is apparently a controversy over whether or not the father or the son Jack Jouett was the hero and saved Thomas Jefferson and the Assembly at the Swan Tavern. I believe the senior John Jouett was a little old and the younger was serving along with his two brothers; common sense makes me think it was indeed the younger Jack.]
