I can't match that but my many-greats grandfather was Captain Richard Brackett who came to the Massachusetts Colony a few years later (1629) as a lad of seventeen. He later led the Braintree militia in King Phillip's War. My father's mother was a Brackett. She named him Richard after her famous ancestor. I am named Richard after my father and, in turn, Captain Richard.

When I think about the hardships endured by our ancestors in previous centuries, I feel guilty about complaining about any discomfort or inconvenience.
I think that this poem says it all:
