6:39 Thomas Miner is the 7th great-grandfather of the wife of my great-granduncle. 😂 This proves I spend WAY TO MUCH time working on my family tree. I've seen that name a thosand times. My dad's dad's mom had a brother, Cecil Darold Steiner. He married Margaret Elaine Miner. Thomas Miner is her 7th great grandfather. Ironically, my 9th paternal grandfather, (dad's dad's dad's... line) Richard Edgerton, was definitely in the Connecticut Militia. I'm wondering if he was one of these original 64.

My people were the Quakers. Puritans executed at least two Quakers at one point.

Yep, and we cover that in a later episode. Turns out, I recently discovered I'm a descendant of one.
