Selenium Webdriver - Fetching column from a data table using Java 8

I am trying to grab a column from a data table. Here is my table to use as an example, what I am looking for is to extract the Firstname from the table. 

<table style="width:100%">
  <tr>
    <th>Firstname</th>
    <th>Lastname</th> 
    <th>Age</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td class="abc">Jill</td>
    <td class="abc">Smith</td> 
    <td class="abc">50</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td class="abc">Eve</td>
    <td class="abc">Jackson</td> 
    <td class="abc">94</td>
  </tr>
</table>

How can i modify the code below to give me this result:

Jill
Eve 


WebElement table = driver.findElement(By.id("searchResultsGrid"));

// Now get all the TR elements from the table
List<WebElement> allRows = table.findElements(By.tagName("tr"));
// And iterate over them, getting the cells
for (WebElement row : allRows) {
    List<WebElement> cells = row.findElements(By.tagName("td"));
    for (WebElement cell : cells) {
        System.out.println("content >>   " + cell.getText());
    }
}

Using Java 8 you can iterate list using .forEach after getting only Firstname column list as below :-

WebElement table = driver.findElement(By.id("searchResultsGrid"));

List<WebElement> firstCells = table.findElements(By.xpath(".//tr/td[1]"));
firstCells.forEach(firstCell->System.out.println("Firstname >>   " + firstCell.getText()));
