  10. Kinda like 1-in-12 folks in Asia are descendants of Genghis Kahn... Seems like those Puritans were purdy prolific from that small ship! Purdy cool that your wife is my cousin. I understand Warren was not Puritan. But, we all seem to be descendants of Mitochondrial Eve way back in the early stages of Human History. So I reckon we are all cousins!
  11. Thank you! Yes, I recall her telling me Richard Warren now. Yup, perhapswe are cuzzins!
  12. Awesomeness on the 100 pounder AV, @lordmarcovan. Very nice. Gold is always good. LOL, I wonder if Britain was celebrating the LEAVING of those pesky folks from THEIR shores! 🙂 Funny you put this up. My daughter is doing some extensive research into my and my ex-wife's family tree. Found out that, yep, I am descendent from the Mayflower clans, and that my family were one of the very few NON-Puritan folks that came over on that ship. Warner, I believe was the guys name. I don't have any coins from this time period, so sorry I cannot contribute... Oh, wait... here is something from 1650...
