I was reading a collection of letters from an Ohio pioneer from this period and I jotted down the names (no SSA for this period!) if you're interested. Here's the list of the names that came up in her letters:

• Girls:                                           Boys:
• Anna                                            Joseph
• Hannah                                        William Henry  
• Maria                                           Isaac
• Deborah                                       Franklin
• Aliceanna                                     Granville
• Ann                                              Thomas
• Sarah                                           Robert
• Susan                                          Nathan
• Margaret                                      Seth
• Elizabeth                                      William
• Mary                                            Harmon
• Sally                                            Morris
• Peggy                                          Moses
• Polly                                            Edward
• Eliza                                            Aaron
• Dorothy                                        Ellis
• Dolly                                            Caleb
• Phoebe                                        Jehu
• Fanny                                          Joshua
• Catharine                                     Abia
• Jessie                                          Sammy
• Helen                                           Marcus
•                                                    Jason
•                                                    Levi
•                                                    George 
•                                                    Charles
•                                                    Gerard
•                                                    Richard
•                                                    Curry
•                                                    Asa

Men's/Boy's names seemed to be much more diverse than women's. There were so many different Sarahs, Anns, Elizabeths, etc!

Eliza and Isaac are my favorites from these!

I think Curry is due for a revival!
