I'm sure you all realize that the name Lafayette was used by many families and had nothing to do with any relationship to the Lafayette family. I'm am not saying that is the case with this family but in South Carolina and many of the early states this name was used to honor the Frenchman Lafayette and the role he played in the American Revolution. Another example is Calhoun. Many people use this name to honor John C. Calhoun and his role in history. The list could go on and on. It all depended on where in history your family was at the time when a name played a role in that families, state or nations history. Often a rural doctors name was used because he might have done something special for a family or lots of families. Again I'm not saying this is the case but a possibility. I would like to know more about the Wright family from the Carolinas. Since one of the lines I'm working on is an Elizabeth Crawford who married a William Ellerbe. ( Ellerby Elerbee) She was born around 1770 and died 12-19-1840. The name Crawford is used in the Ellerbe family for generations since. However we know for a fact that Elizabeth married William. ( William 1765-1830) William was in South Carolina but near the North Carolina Line. Has anyone ever heard of this family line? This line also has Boggan ( From North Carolina, Cash From North Carolina direct connections. Any Clues or hints you might could give me would be a big help. I love what this group is doing.
