Marlene; in my dictionary, "What Did They Mean By That?", I define primogeniture (abolished GA  1777, NC 1784, VA 1785, MD and NY 1786, SC 1791, RI 1798, followed by all other states), descent and distribution, will and estates.  Why not try that?  If you can not, write me privately.  Finally, there were varying naming patterns, often following customs of the country from which an ancestor or his ancestors came.   Paul

  Thank you Belinda and found the naming pattern I was wanting but what I am
  really wanting on diseases is:

  The years of Epidemics of then it listed what was the epidemic for that year
  was. So you would have an idea of what killed several in a family possibly at
  that time.
  Also The law of Progeniture (I think that is the correct word). I guess you
  would say "birthrights" and why they named them so and so for reasons of
  inheritance.
