1692: Goodman Save-Thee Wheeler and Goody Hannah Wheeler are Puritans living in the township of Salem in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Unfortunately, Goody Wheeler will not be living much longer. The citizens of Salem have declared that Goody Wheeler was bewitching her own son into a fever last year! This was confirmed when Goody Wheeler walked into the congregation hall for her trial and several young women began to act strangely. Goodman and Goody Wheeler’s eldest son has already been put to death, because he was obviously a stronger witch than Goody Wheeler and that is why she was trying to kill him; thus was Job drowned. Although Goody Wheeler was set to die soon, she was discovered to be pregnant. This blessing from God could not be expected to die because of the sins of the mother, so Goody Wheeler will be hanged after she gives birth.
Goodman Wheeler is distraught that both his wife and his eldest son are being/have been taken from him. Whether the babe is a boy or a girl, he’d like the baby’s name to be after both Hannah and Job.

1871: Marshall Levi Benjamin is the law, keeping his small part of the Dakota Territory safe from outlaws and Indians. Wyatt was recently kidnapped by the Indians living around the Dakota Territory. Levi rounded up a posse and, after much bloodshed, rescued Wyatt. Unfortunately, now Wyatt calls himself ‘Little Bear,’ which worries Levi and Betty.
Betty has had another boy! She and Levi would like his given name to end in –iah. His middle name is up to you, as long as it’s Western.

The Cutler Family
DH: Lord Theodore William “Theo” Cutler [45]
DW: Lady Charlotte Sarah (nee Weymouth) Cutler [31]
DD: Victoria Regina “Vi” Cutler [13]
DS: Theodore Albert “Dorian” Cutler [R.I.P.]
DD: Charlotte Anne “Lottie” Cutler [7] (Nyx)
DS: Weymouth George “George” Cutler [5] (Anthony)
DD: Margaret Marybeth “Meggie” Cutler [2] (estel)
DS:Theodore John "TJ" Cutler [nb]
1852: Lord Theodore Cutler was the captain of a “shipful of dastardly rogues” in Victorian England. In other words, he was 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. After the birth of their second son and fourth child, Theo retired from piracy.
Dorian was taken with a bout of cholera that killed him. Theo and Charlotte would like to name their newest son after Dorian; because their now-eldest son George’s Christian name isn’t really honoring Charlotte’s father so much as it honors her entire family, they’d also like this son to be named after Charlotte’s father, John Frederick Weymouth. If Theodore is this son’s Christian name, he will need a different nickname, so he will not be confused with Dorian.
