A trivia question for the long afternoon

PrintGreat game yesterday and a long wait for tonight's, so I thought I'd post a really silly trivia question: Before Craig Monroe, who was the last Cubs player to share a last name with a US president? This is actually a trick question, as there were two players that year. I'll take either one.
Categorical comments: I'm only interested in last names, so Tyler Houston, Roosevelt Brown and our very own Theodore Roosevelt Lilly don't count.
