Re: My column on Leroy
Could Leroy be short for Fauntleroy? I noticed both names come up together in early examples in Richmond Virginia.What other non-British surnames were there? I suppose Lafayette and Marion came late 1700s. Marion only counts on the technicality that Francis Marion was from a French Huguenot family, not English. Schuyler and Yancy never got as popular by 1850s like Leroy.
