Francois or François? edit

The current version of this article contains both Francois and François. Is there an authoritative source (such as his own hand) on whether he used the cedilla? Some secondary authorities, such as Louisiana Historical Association and EB1911 use it, and I think it's likely he was born with it. archives.gov has it, but that's a transcription. It is on the cover of a 1976 edition of Acts of the North Carolina Assembly from 1715 to 1803. However, the American Antiquarian Society does not.

Anything in all-capitals and missing the cedilla, such as his grave and the original edition of The History of North Carolina (on Google Books) is probably following the French typographical convention, although in the latter case he also has a hyphen: FRANCOIS-XAVIER MARTIN.

I think I'm convinced on François, but before moving the page and making it internally consistent I'd love to hear from someone more familiar with French orthography in 19th century Louisiana, or seeing something more directly attributable to him. Also I don't know whether to include the hyphen or simply put it in redirects. David Brooks (talk) 18:55, 26 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
