Talk:Elliott Woolfolk Major

Spelling of "Elliot"?
According to the most recent edition of the Official Manual of the State of Missouri, Elliot is spelled "Elliott". At this point, I can't be sure which is correct. Badbilltucker 00:02, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Spelling of name
This article appears to have been mistitled since its creation until my recent move. While both "Elliot" and "Elliott" can be found in print or online, most high quality authoritative and official sources state his first name as Elliott, with two t's, including:    Note also VIAF and Library of Congress prefer Elliott, and while Find a Grave unsurprisingly gets his name wrong, the gravestone it actually shows gets it right. See also his facsimile signature (2 L's, 2 T's) in The History of the Bench and Bar of Missouri (1898) and Missouri, the Center State, 1821-1915 (1915). --Animalparty!
