I did a paper a number of years ago on the Huguenots of Midlothian.
When they arrived in early 1700 they had their own church and deeds and
wills filed at the Chesterfield County Courthouse were in French. Over
the next few decades they took English husbands and wives, their kids
had English Godparents and their names became increasingly Anglicized.
Today some of their ancestors still live in the area. but Fleurnoir has
become Flornoys, etc.
