July 11, 1775: From John to James, and The Other Long Island

Cover art for July 11, 1775: Portrait of James Warren, 1763 by John Singleton Copley. Now in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Oof, that’s a mouthful of title. Oh well, what’s done is done.

As noted in today’s episode, James Warren was not related to Joseph Warren. On the other hand, he is related to Mercy Otis Warren, because he’s her husband.

James and John Adams had a few ideas in common; the hard part was convincing a few others that they were in the right.

Meanwhile, did you know there’s another Long Island? That sort of thing really plays havoc with our research. This one is in the Boston Bay, and it’s a familiar story because something similar happened a few weeks ago. But tune in anyway.
