/* His last name should be Johnson not Johnston */ new section
At the time John W. Johnson was a government trader at Fort Madison, there was another trader at Fort Wayne named John Johnston. The two have been mistaken for each other ever since. This is mentioned in "A Man Named Johnson" by Kate Gregg in the Missouri Historical Review.

Supreme Court decision regarding his second wife's claims that his children with Tapissee were illegitimate uses Johnson as the name.

His relatives all have the last name Johnson. Here is a website discussing his father, Thomas Johnson. It mentions John W. Johnson and Tapissee.

If you look at the book "St. Louis, the Fourth City, 1764-1909" Volume 1 By Walter Barlow Stevens · 1909

On page 123, you will see that his name as the third mayor of the city, was John w. Johnson not Johnston.

Also, look at the external link I've added to his official painting as a mayor of St. Louis. If you zoom in on the name plate, you'll see that it is Johnson, not Johnston. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leone Magnolia (talk • contribs) 16:40, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

I've researched this family extensively and think this mistake has just been carried through the years.
