What was the name of William Tell's son who had the apple shot off the top of his head?

"William Tell and his young son Walter..." http://www.mises.org/fullstory.aspx?control=1478 There is just one small problem: many historians doubt that Tell ever shot an apple off his son's head in 1307 or sparked the Swiss struggle for independence. In fact, many doubt that William Tell ever existed. Instead, Tell's oft-told tale is a product of mangled chronologies, borrowed folk tales, and ample helpings of wishful thinking. But that hasn't kept him from becoming a beloved symbol of Switzerland's national character. http://www.smithsonianmag.si.edu/smithsonian/issues04/aug04/tell.html Sep 06 04, 5:01 PM

What was the name of the guy who tried to shoot the apple off his son's head, and what was the name of the son? One man shows another the portrait of a gentleman and tells him: 'I have neither brothers or sisters, but this man's father is the son of my father.' Who is the man in the painting? Who shot Cyrus? Who is the son of Chingachgook?
