Discussion

• Middle name, "Wilson", is from mother's maiden name. Has been mistakenly thought to be "Nelson" for many years - perhaps an old record was hard to read.
• Johanna's name often appears in indexes and transcribed records as "Johan_"; it is unknown whether this was an abbreviation for "Johanna", or if the underscore indicated uncertainty on the part of the transcriber/indexer.
