Today's Puritan Name Award goes to
of Weymouth, Massachusetts.
Dr. Cotton Tufts
of Weymouth, Massachusetts.
Although Dr. Tufts (1734-1815) was born in the 18th century, his name made me giggle, so he merits an honorable mention. I know you New Englanders want to honor the great men of your regional history, but if your last name is "Tufts," don't you think you'd stay away from "Cotton"?
