How about Elizabet Cooper? It was a very common name then and means My God is an Oath.
Hi Louise,
I checked some web sites for famous women of the 1700's. Here are several suggestions. Is it okay to offer more than one name? I will list them in order of my preference. : )
Rachel, Eliza, Sarah, Laura, Deborah, Rosemary
Hope you find one you like!
Carrie

Annalee
Analise
Rebekah
Sarah Elizabeth Folger
I like Juliette Folger.
I don't know much about that era but I like the name Catharine (spelled w/ an a) ;)
After seeing the author names from the prizes I just have to mention that my two best friends names are Catharine and Jill (shortened from Jillian) That's so crazy!
Frances Folger.
There are three possible nicknames: Fanny, Franny, or, since she's spirited, those closest to her might even use Franky.
How about Celeste?
(see my suggestion for a book title.)

Hi Louise,
I saw immediately Margaret Rose Folger... but forever called Maggie or Peg
I got out one of my fav. historical romance novels and came up with
Miss Dorothea Anabel Folger
I like Elisabeth Folger, with the nickname Bess or Bessy. The name has a nice ring to it.
Alice would be my second choice.
Good luck in deciding on both the character name and the title! I hope your book writing is going well.
How about;
Ameline (Am-a-leen)Rose
Almira Jane
Arabella Frances
Cordelia Joy
Harriet Thursey
Tacey Elizabeth (not Tracy)
Prudence Anne
Not an easy decision with all the great names out there.

Susanna Folger
Joanna Folger
Alice Folger
Eleanor Folger

Anne was a good solid 1700s name. Elizabeth had multiple possibilities for nicknames (witness Elizabeth Bennett in Pride & Prejudice).
Dolley Madison's name was unusual, but not impossible.
Or, depending on how long her people were here, she might have been given an Indian (e.g., Native American) name. The Wampanoag tribe inhabited the western part of Massachusetts. (Well, that seemed like a good idea, but the only woman's name I could find from the period is Awonunsk, "ye wife of Wulluther" and Awonunsk Folger doesn't have the right ring to it.... :o( Oh, well.)
Any Biblical heroine could provide a name, e.g. Lydia, Persis, Priscilla (although I'd avoid Euodias and Syntyche if I were you), Adah, or any of the Puritan names, such as Charity, Faith, Grace, Prudence, Constance, Hope, etc.
For some reason, continent & subcontinent names were also popular, including Asia, Africa, India and America, although Europe doesn't seem to have made the cut.
I know you'll find something wonderful, and I can't wait for the book to come out!

How about
