Middle name

edit

I think this article misspells his middle name by adding an "e". His granddaughter's biography eliminates that letter, as do many of the sources. However, some sources, including the National Register documentation prepared by Maryland for the family's Oxon Hill plantation (http://msa.maryland.gov/megafile/msa/stagsere/se1/se5/019000/019100/019185/pdf/msa_se5_19185.pdf), use both spellings in the same document. Obviously, spelling wasn't wholly consistent in his day, but I'm concerned about broken links. I corrected one (in the Bishop Thomas Claggett article), although to what I now believe to be a misspelling. Is consistency the hobgoblin of little minds?Jweaver28 (talk) 17:42, 12 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
