1587 Virginia Dare - The first child of English parents to be born in the New World. She was born on what is now Roanoke Island, North Carolina, a week after Sir Walter Raleigh’s second expedition landed in an attempt to set up a colony

1896 Alan Mowbray – British actor (The Man Who Knew Too Much, The King & I, My Man Godfrey, Charlie Chan in London, Topper, My Darling Clementine, Around the World in Eighty Days)

1939 Molly Bee – Country Singer (I Wish I Was a Single Girl Again, Young Romance, Don’t Look Back, 5 Points a Star, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause, The Tennessee Tango, Some Tears Fall Dry)

Molly Bee (born Mollie Gene Beachboard; August 18, 1939 – February 7, 2009), was an American country music singer famous for her 1952 recording of the early perennial "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" and as Pinky Lee's sidekick on The Pinky Lee Show.

Bee was also well known in the 1950s in Los Angeles as a regular on Hometown Jamboree, a local television program featuring Tennessee Ernie Ford. She also appeared several times on The Ford Show during its run from 1956 to 1961.
