What are some common LAST names or BOYS names from the revolutionary war time period/?
These names were often used during the revolutionary war:


Abraham


Benjamin


Daniel


David


Gabriel


George


Isaac


Jacob


James


John


Joseph


Nicholas


Oliver


Peter


Richard


Samuel


Stephen


Sybert


Thomas


William





And I was able to find these last names:


Acker


Avery


Bont


Boyce


Brewer


Buckhout


Comb


Davids


Dean


Dutcher


Ferris


Hammond


Jewel


Jones


Martling


Odell


Paulding


Requa


See


Storms


Swartwout


Youngs





I sorted them alphabetically, so that it can be easier for you to select them. If you need more names you can try to find a 19 century census and you'll be able to find a lot of names there. But I hope that these names will be enough for your project...
Reply:I'm not sure about last names but as for first names it was very common to give boys the name of a prominent person in The Bible, especially names of the Apostles. John, James %26amp; Thomas were very common at that time
Reply:I agree you go with the Bible for first names.





Last names think basic English names and anything Irish.
