Hi, Juliann, Thanks for your answer. That's interesting to know. I appreciate it. I just wrote on another answer regarding this, that I once researched, running in circles, around a possible surname of Antiochem. Never showed up anywhere. I finally concluded it wasn't the surname but someone had written "Antioch cem" in the surname line... Oh well, live and learn.

It is also a surname-- I have an Exum line in Virginia and North Carolina that covers several generations. I have copies of wills, etc., so I know it's the real name used in documents, not just someone's assumption that the Latin exum was someone's name.
