Origin of 'Dugger' In Virginia

Within the original Virginia Colony land patent documents, there are listed at least 2 "Dugards", Abraham Dugard, and John Dugard as headrights, comming from England.
The Dugard name was very prevalant in England in the 1600s - 1800s (see the Mormon IGI), Dugard was also very common in France at the same time.
I believe that the English Dugard was pronounced [DUH'-gerd] and that the French Dugard was pronounced [Doo-GARD'].
Given the problems of literacy (or lack thereof ), it could very have been that on some occasions a person gave a name to a scribe, and it was written as it sounded, [DUH'-gerd] hence Duggard. This also could explain the evolution to Dugger and Duggar in both England and the Colonies, as various brogues and dialects could cause a records scribe to "hear " Dugger/Duggar with the 'd', or Duggard/Dugard without the 'd'. As I have said before, it was probbably FAR easier, especially in the Colonies, to assume the name of record, than to get the record changed, even for something as simple as a transcription error, which may have been listed Daniel as "Duggar, D", and someone just forgot the comma.
Given the political climate of the time, I am quite sure that NO self respecting Englishperson would allow his/her name to be pronounced as the French  [Doo-GARD'].
This leads me to the conclusion that 'John Dugard' may have been the father of Daniel Dugger. John and not Abraham because of the well documented use of the name 'John' in Daniels line, and no use of 'Abraham', at least until some time later. In all likelihood, Daniel was born in America. He almost had to have already been a well established land owner, and well-to-do, in order to have married Mary Scarborough. The  Scarborough family of Accomack County  was one of the more influential families in the colonies at that time.
If this is at all accurate, then an investigation needs to be done into Abraham Dugard to see if his surname evolved as well, and the potential of him founding  an entirely seperate line of Duggers/Duggars, or his being the progenitor of English 'Dugards' in America. I think it worth noting that, according to Henrico County Records, some of which are posted at www.nyvagenealogy.homestead.com , on May 2 1794, a surety was provided for the marriage John Burton and Elizabeth Olsin in Henrico County by Abraham Dugard.  This would seem to indicate that Abraham Dugards name carried on, especially since at least one researcher has John and Abraham Dugard settling first in Henrico County.
