Transcription Notes:
---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-06-11 19:21:37 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-06-11 19:26:45 Wilson not Milson ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-06-11 19:40:24 Though Wilson may be the correct spelling, Milson is written on the original document. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-06-11 19:53:23 I think the name is "Wilson" because the "W" is written exactly the same way it's written in "White". --- Above is correct. Also W's are often written this way in cursive, especially in the 1800s.
