In the course of writing Angel of Mercy, I did some research into the origin of the family’s surnames.
This is what I found out:
Bartlette – English with some pockets in Scotland
Steward – Scottish-English
Goodwin – English
Grey – Anglo-Saxon
Taylor – English with French origins
Winthrop – from Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire
Appleton – a locational name referring to any of several English towns named Appleton
Hill – English
Morris – English and French

Most kids have an active imagination.My imagination has stayed strong into adulthood, and I’ve funneled that creativity into a successful writing career.I write history, both fiction and nonfiction, because although your school history classes may have been boring, the past is not.My goal is to bring the past to life in all its myriad of colors.
