Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

A lot of names in that time would be from occupations as
that is basically how surnames came about that and where you were from (which is more for the nobility) so you could
use Taylor, Cooper(makes barrels) Baker, Butcher and then add 'son' to the names like Taylorson, Cooperson, etc!. because that is how they developed!. Common first nmaes
in that time would come from the Bible so anything you find in the Bible would be a name that would be used!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is from the 1600's, but I would guess it would still hold up for the 1700's!.
