Charles Browne Fleet (September 18, 1843 – May 12, 1916) (Caroline Virginia) was a pharmacist and inventor of the laxative and chapstick. His company, C.B. Fleet, was founded in Lynchburg, Virginia, and still operates producing laxatives, douches, enemas, and other products of the sort.
Although his family life was quite mysterious, several matches have been found. The Connelly family is known to share blood with him, as well as the Ferrone family. Although Fleet originally comes from Virginia, his families now live in Long Island, New York.
