Well, it really doesn't use ALL of the letters, but since you're dealing with log cabins, how about The Loggerheads.

The J.D. Clampett family. Problem solved.

If you want to use all of the letters, it could be the:

"J. Marchbald" family

"J. Charmblad" family

"J. Lambchard" family

OR If you want something a little macabre... the "J. Chardlamb" family.

How about using one of your ancestor's married or maiden name? That would keep it in the family.

You didn't state whether letters could be reused, or the name hypenated. I think you're outta luck because of scarcity of vowels, in any case.

And if you're doing wild west, be prepared to 'roll your own' -- scratchbuild most of it.
