12/22/2010 -- Started the Henry Lunt of Newbury blog to have a more complete view (fuller tree) as we look at some of the early times. Next month, we'll jump forward to the late 1800s. Reminder: coming up is an opportunity (400th) to tell the tale and to look at the middle class (the more real) influence (especially, as it seems to be fading in modern times).
