I'm with you. I started reading and was like "wait.. this is not the Cheshire I know of - where has this been hiding".. Then on the map: Lebanon and Brooklyn.

Also Wallingford. I bet thats nothing like the Wallingford I know of (Oxfordshire Town)

So many places in the USA have matching British names I had to check to see if Brooklyn was one of them, but looks like it's named for a Dutch town, which makes sense.

Yeah, that’s a funny spelling of Breukelen, now an exurb of Amsterdam, NL.
