Variants
During the nineteenth century the spelling of the name eventually settled down into one of three main variants:
However, in earlier times, most people were illiterate and not in a position to quibble about how their name was spelled. Often the person writing the name was only semi-literate himself. And even those who were literate were not too bothered about spelling and it is quite common to find the same person spelling his or her name differently on several occasions.
Over 90 variants are found in the IGI, census CDs, and other sources!
In cases where an individual used multiple spellings (such as Caleb Wingate), he is added to the category for each confirmed variant used.
