The name changes listed here give as much information as could be gleaned from the Acts of the General Assembly from 18oo to 1856. In some cases only the previous name and the new name is given. In other cases, specifically in case of legitimizations, the names of the fathers and counties of residence also were given. Names for which no footnotes are indicated are given in the list as a name altered and changed without a specific reason, though in some cases it would seem that these were legitimizations.
