It's a small world indeed through the lens of genealogy. "I have a personal connection with Frankenstein because one of my ancestors, Humphry Davy, 'palled' around with Mary Shelley and other creepy folks." It was in her father's London home that Mary met the writers Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Charles and Mary Lamb, and the politician Aaron Burr. Scientists, including the physician Erasmus Darwin, father of Charles, and chemists Humphrey Davy and William Nicholson,also frequented the Godwin home. Message 25081474 "Strangely enough, I knew two different people with the last name Burr, and both claimed to be related to Aaron, not that they were proud of it. One was a Baptist minister and former Navy Chaplain, and the other was a rich Ohio farmer." Message 24477193 * * *
