Some that jump out there:
Turner. Such as the American historian Frederick Jackson Turner, a man known for his frontier thesis. He was descended from Puritans.
Sherman. Such as Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman, a man hated by Southerners to this day. Born in Ohio but descended from Connecticut Puritans.
Webster. As in Sen. Daniel Webster of Massachusetts.
Thatcher. As in British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. She was born in Lincolnshire - an area closely associated with English Puritanism.
And Mason. Notably, National Socialist revolutionary and Siege author James Mason is of English stock and is a Yankee from Ohio.
