Gosnold's Colony (1602) 

Great podcast as always Eric! The artwork is very nice also. If it's Raleigh you are talking about, I am anxiously awaiting that story! Merry Christmas!

It’s true in school they make it seem like the Puritans who landed at Plymouth were the first to settle outside of Jamestown I had no idea about this pre Plymouth history. Once again this is an excellent podcast 👍

My maiden name is Edgerton. Phoenitic spelling of Egerton. I've had DNA testing done. I can prove my lineage back to my 9th great grandfather, Richard Edgerton - founding member of Saybrook Ct. His Father: Sir Richard Egerton was born on 24 February 1575, in Ridley, Cheshire, England, He married Marie BRERETON in 1589, in Ridley, Cheshire, England, United Kingdom I know I'm also descended from "Pease the imigrant" so clearly my relations were here before here WAS "here. " Family geologists across the country have been trying to solve this for decades. Many don't want to admit any possible line to the noble Egertons of England. It''s postulated that my 9th great grandfather, Richard was ousted from his family for marrying a Quaker. I do know my 8th great grand parents were Quakers. However, would that have been enough of a crime to get him removed from all family records? OR is it more likely that he comes from the ilk about which the play "Comus (A Masque Presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634)" was associated. There was SO much rape and infidelity going on at that time, it's no wonder birth records are obscure or altogether non-existent. Subsequently, I searched, "Egerton in Maine in 1602." The first Google link was to a paper titled [The Manuscript "Instructions for a Voyage to New England" (1608-1610?)] Philip. L. Barbour - Louisville, Kentucky. This is a translation of "British Library Egerton MS 2395." It looks like a fascinating read, one which my half blind eyes may not be able to do on my phone screen. I've heard you say Muscovy company a million times, but never gave it much thought until you said someone else should record a podcast about Sir Humphrey Gilbert. I googled, Egerton in Muscovy Company and I think I just struck gold! You mentioned Ireland which got me curious. I'm an Egerton, but I'm more Scottish and Irish, than English or French (just on my dad's side.) and, lo and behold, there was a Thomas Egerton, London merchant and member of the Worshipful Company of Mercers, and was master of the company in 1587. Sir Richard Egerton, my 10th great grandfather, was the half brother of Thomas Egerton, who was born in 1558, and could very well have been Thomas the Mercer. And THIS brings me back to several years ago when I first took my DNA test, and ancestry dot com records show that Richard Egerton FIRST arived in "Newfoundland " in 1620, with Thomas Egerton. But this is just an account, and I haven't seen an original source document. Although, IF he did arrive in 1620, and if he was baptized in 1620, then he arrived as an infant, and therefore would know nothing but his name. I'm also a descendant of Cotton through this line.

The point about mirrors is also the fact that paint and other ornamentation is very important in native societies and being as fancy and clean as possible was important socially and otherwise. love the podcast

14:30 I can't even count how many times I've listened to this video already. I never noticed you mention your tooth. I just NOW heard you and caught myself smiling. I SO get it and so empathize. I had a molar pulled yesterday. It had to be drilled apart, and the roots had to be fished out. It took 2 hours. I was awake through all of it. I can't believe you're talking so soon after an extraction. Thank you for your dedication. This IS my favorite episode, btw.

Raleigh is pronounced Rawley

Do you know about the several chambers across New England such as the Upton Chamber?

Thanks!
