Notes and References

1. The present author is the only one who has ventured to combine his two known names of John and Jonathan as John Nathan. The author has based this idea on the probability that his middle name matches his son's name, Nathaniel, and that the census taker who recorded him as "Jonathan" made a natural mistake when his informant spoke "John Nathan" quickly with the local accent.
