Here's why:

The founder of KFC, Colonel Harland Sanders, is our "cousin".
His grandmother was a Clegg.

Here's the scoop:
Harland D. Sanders (1890-1980);
Son of Wilbur Sanders ( -abt1896) & Margaret Dunlevy (1866- );
Daughter of Thomas Dunlevy (1836- ) & Catherine Clegg (1838-1890);
Daughter of Mathew Simpson Clegg (1810-1892) & Martha Allen (1818-1892);
Son of Richard Clegg (1776-1853) & Mary Simpson (1771-1849);
