Subject: Naming Patterns of Children


Can anyone provide me with information on the naming patterns frequently
used for children in the 17th and 18th centuries in Virginia?  I think I
have seen something on this list before, but I don't have it, on first males
being named after a certain relative, second males being named after a
certain relative, etc., and the same sort of pattern for females.  I would
appreciate any information anyone could provide.  Thank you.  Tom Howle.
