Help[Opinions] Unusual Early American Names
I was reading about my family history and I wanted to share some of the names I noted from early America that were more unusual. By unusual I mean names we don't hear often today or seem unusual for the time period. From what I gather, family surnames and early American place names were popular amongst the family. Sorry if there are some duplicates.
