Hello Loyd,
I'm sorry but I respectfully disagree with your premise that this was proof of what my gg grandfather's middle name was.
I have found so many versions of my family names in "official" records, that I take what I find with a grain of salt.For instance marriage records of Polk Co. show "Martha Jane Hamilton" married "Vinson Heralson" on 12/07/1843.These were also my gg grandparents but their names were Martha Dove Hambelton and Vincent Harralson.Other branches of the family show Harralson as Haralson or Harrelson, but ours has been handed down as Harralson.
Sincerely,
Karen Schoonmaker
