Greetings, In the 1870 census for Halifax County, VA, there is a 65 year old black woman listed with the given name Setha. Setha is living with one of my known ancestors. How common was the given name Setha back then? I am researching a female named Esther with the same surname in the same area, could the given name Setha actually be my Esther? Did the Census taker make a mistake? The names sound alike to me. What do you think? Thanks, Larry
