[Harguess, Dale]

I just thought of another unusual one, Peninah.  I have a couple of those.

For Interesting names how about, Increase Billings and Thankful Billings ...

 

I know I'm related to some of you out there, but I was thinking it was mostly to Les, very distantly -- maybe now it includes Glen's wife.

Kingsland Comstock is a 7th great grandfather of mine, and Increase and Thankful are his niece and nephew -- got my info from Garford Williams and Melanie Armstrong. Kingsland's mother was Palthiah (or Palthial, or Patteah) Elderkin, b 1635 in Rhode Island. I have bunches of those weird Puritanical sounding names in the family history.

There was also and Increase JR, and an Increase III.  Also have an Increase Blake and a couple Increase Shaws.  Two are no blood relation and one is a very distant cousin.
