Exactly. The Puritans were the Roundheads in English Civil War and yes, there definitely was some back and forth between New England and England at the time.
While the parallel is not 100%, the Cavaliers were much more aligned with Virginia....its not coincidence they named UVA’s mascot the Cavaliers. My own direct namebearing ancestor 11 generations ago landed in the Jamestown settlement in 1649 the year they chopped King Charles’ head off. Lots of others with Cavalier sympathies found their way to Virginia as well.

That is so very true! There is another great book called “The Cousin’s Wars” (https://bit.ly/2Jr8kJR) that goes into excruciating detail to explain the connection between the English Civil War, The Revolutionary War, and our Civil War.
Couple that book with Albion’s Seed and it sheds much light on how we evolved as a nation (in fits and starts).
Nothing new under the sun :-)! Are we there again???

That is very amazing! Did your family remain in VA for all of those generations?
