Re: Period NTNB

This NTNB was so much fun! I LOVE old-fashioned things and especially period fiction and films! :)
The Wheeler Family
DH: Jesus-Died-to-Save-Thee “Save-Thee” Wheeler [32]
DW: Hannah Mercy (nee White) Wheeler [21]
DS: Job Salvation Wheeler [3]
DD: Dove Chastity Wheeler [1]
DD: Prudence Ruth Wheeler [nb]
1688: Goodman Save-Thee Wheeler and Goody Hannah Wheeler are Puritans living in the township of Salem in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Goody Wheeler has recently given birth to a girl. Her Christian name will be a virtue and her middle name will be a respectable Biblical name.

The Benjamin Family
DH: Levi Zachariah Benjamin [33]
DW: Elizabeth Anne “Betty” (nee Porter) Benjamin [25]
DS: Wyatt Levi Benjamin [3]
DS: Cody Dillon Benjamin [nb]
1865: Marshall Levi Benjamin is the law, keeping his small part of the Dakota Territory safe from outlaws. His wife, Betty, was the local schoolmarm until Levi took a fancy to her and courted her. Now, she stays at home keeping Levi and their little rascal, Wyatt, in line. She’s also just given birth to another little fellar. This son’s name is as Western as a shootout at high-noon. Yee-haw!

The Cutler Family
DH: Lord Theodore William “Theo” Cutler [38]
DW: Lady Charlotte Sarah (nee Weymouth) Cutler [24]
DD: Victoria Regina “Vi” Cutler [6]
DS: Theodore Albert “Dorian” Cutler [4]
DD: Annasophia Charlotte "Sophy" Cutler [nb]
1845: Lord Theodore Cutler is the captain of a “shipful of dastardly rogues” in Victorian England. In other words, he is a pirate. He was the younger son of the former Lord Cutler, and so, with a thirst for adventure, he set to the high seas. After he had made his fortune and become “Captain Cutler the Bloodthirsty” of the pirate ship Vengeance, he returned home, only to find his family estate had been passed into his hands by the passing of his father and brother. Richer than he’d ever thought he’d be, Theo went to London to seek a bride. There, he found Miss Charlotte Weymouth, an outspoken, funny young woman who stole his heart. They were married as soon as possible. And, though he was very happy with his wife and family, Theo continued his pirating, returning home as often as possible. Thus, the Cutlers’ second daughter’s birth is well-spaced from their son’s.
Dorian and Charlotte have decided to name this daughter after Charlotte and after Theodore’s mother, Lady Anne Sophia (nee Babcock) Cutler. If Charlotte is their daughter’s Christian name, they will need a nickname to call her, so things don’t get confusing.
