Noteworthy?

In an effort to exploit my OCD-ness for good, here is a list of late 18th century surnames present in the western half of Connecticut during the American Revolution…

(Yes, I’m serious. Now, stop laughing before I develop a new complex.)

So, please, allow my eccentric, psychiatrically unsound approach to research aid you in finding that elusive character name.

Until tomorrow…

Post-note: Of course this list is far from complete, but it’s a nice start.
