From Wikipedia (and found while researching the histories of the various islands in and around Boston, including the Brewster islands):
"Elder William Brewster (c. 1560 or 1566 – April 10, 1644) was a Pilgrim colonist leader and preacher born in Doncaster, England and raised in Scrooby, in north Nottinghamshire, who reached what became the Plymouth Colony in the Mayflower in 1620. He was accompanied by his wife, Mary Brewster, and his sons, Love Brewster and Wrestling Brewster. Son Jonathan joined the family in November 1621, arriving at Plymouth on the ship Fortune, and daughters Patience and Fear arrived in July 1623 aboard the Anne."
Yes, that's right, his children were named Love, Wrestling, Patience, Fear ... and Jonathan.
Are you kidding me? What are the odds everyone hated Jonathan?
