On one son's death certificate, his nickname was listed as Johnnie. His middle name was often recorded as "Elijah", as was his father's, but his father's name is confirmed by his own signature as alternately spelled "Elija". That spelling is then assumed as correct and entered as such here, census takers and others recording the more common spelling in error.
