OK. Roger Peterson - 21 yr old pilot of the plane carrying Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and J.P. Richardson - all more famous than he. The Richie Valens clue threw me as he had been referenced frequently on this thread as a running gag.
If that's it, I'll pass at the next turn. Maybe stormy night or Cali BassMan has one?

Oh yea plenty of clues here.... we are looking for someone that we never heard of, who did something, somewhere....Hell at least this time he was an American.........
I am a local hero and presently many things are named after me. I was born in a small state, and became famous in an even smaller state, although they weren't states at the time. I was elected the first colonel of a newly formed group that is still effective to this day. I was instrumental in taking the first property from the Crown. Who am I?
I'm a 19th-20th Century figure born in Missouri. I founded one sports franchise in one major US city and built a famous sports arena in another. Neither of the sports associated with those venues was the sport for which I am most famously known. My partner in promotion was the grandfather of one of the most famous promoters of modern times, but I despised the profession he promoted and never became involved with it. I was also in the oil business in the US and the cattle business in South America.
Though from Missouri, and most famous for activities two other states, I was always known by a nickname which suggested a different locale.
You got it. Founded the New York Rangers, built the Boston Gardens, but was most famous as a boxing promoter. Partnered with Vince McMahon's grandfather for a time.
