Thank you for putting this together! Edward Starbuck is my 11th ggrandfather and Thomas Macy is my 8th ggrandfather.

My husband is a direct descendant of the Starbucks of Nantucket. They were very prominent whaling boat captains. His ancestor loaned out some of his ship’s logs to Herman Melville, who in gratitude named the character Starbuck, first mate of the Pequod, after him.

Well you might also be right Anythony. The original BSG aired in the ’70′s and that’s when Starbucks was originated, so you never know!

I was SURE it had something to do with “Battlestar Galactica”. Alas, another dream crushed.
