John Washington Capps married Ada Orr, not John Walter Capps

I keep finding references online to John Walter Capps marrying Ada Elizabeth Orr. This information is incorrect. John Washington Capps (1 Sept 1876-16 Jan 1940 SC) married Ada Elizabeth Orr. He is often listed as "JW Capps" and his son was JW Jr. The W is for Washington, not Walter!

My source of information is John Washington Capps' daughter, who was able to tell me what the W stood for in her father and brother's names. Additionally, obituary information backs this up. John Washington Capps did have a brother named Walter Capps who married Adie Cappell.

I just wanted to clarify this. Thanks.
