In their book, Tanet and Hordé state that Samantha was created in the South of the US (not clues about the state) in 17th c., but Withycombe states the apparition of Samantha in 18th c. in New England. Since Tanet & Hordé's book is from a more recent year than Withycombe's one, perhaps there are new data to site the origin in 17th c. in the South.

Does anybody have information about the specific area and date of appearance of the name Samantha?

Thanks.
