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!
