    Notes 
    • Blacksmith and farmer of Milford, Ct.

      Ephraim was the ancestor of Eastman Strong Minor, a missionary to Ceylon. Eastman Minor's son, Dr. William Chester Minor was a Union Army surgeon whose Civil War experiences caused a permanent mental breakdown. His subequent criminal acts led him to be confined for the rest of his life to the Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum in England. In Simon Winchester's book, THE PROFESSOR AND THE MADMAN, the story of Dr. Minor's twenty year involvement in the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary is detailed. Dr. James Murray, editor of the OED came to rely on the thorough and well documented contributions from Dr. Minor, assuming for many years his most diligent contributor was a staff doctor at Broadmoor, not an inmate.
