HelpRe: Eye-catchers from an 1871 Publication, Batch 1 (49 names)

I'm guessing that Dorus is a (faux) Latinate from Dora.
I wonder if Desire Bacon became a vegetarian.
I have a couple of Abijah's in my tree, too.
Amarilla Jane- Yellow Jane? Or maybe she's one of the girls the rodeo rider lost in George Strait's "Amarillo by Morning".

Another poster suggested that Dorus might have come from Theodorus. I believe his bio said he was a military man.
I'm no anthropologist...were any folks vegetarian in the late 17th - 19th centuries? I tend to think of vegetarianism and, more particularly, veganism (are those words?) as being luxury lifestyle choices enabled by modern technology and transport/storage systems, simply because those diets require a very broad variety of grown/gathered foods available year 'round for proper nutrition.
Funny, I related Amarilla to Amaryllis..."sparkling Jane". :)
