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.
