William Alanson
Who was William Alanson that so many Americans named children after him? (The man I am researching was born in 1820.) He had to have been a "household name". I have found references to a ship captain hung in Scotland for religious reasons, a merchant from 1666 in England, and a feudal land baron in England.
Thanks for any clues.
