Source talk:Morton, Oren F. A history of Rockbridge County, Virginia

Watchers

Middle Name [30 August 2009]

I'm not sure what the "F." stood for in his name. The works that I've seen under his authorship give his name on the title page as "Oren F. Morton". His forwards are also signed that way. I've seen him listed in booksellers lists as "Oren Frederick Morton" and "Oren Frederic Morton". He obviously preferred using just the initial, and I can't confirm what the initial stood for. It could be "Frederic", "Frederick", or something else all together. Probably best to honor the usage preferred by the author "Oren F. Morton". Q 18:55, 30 January 2009 (EST)



Nice work

Nicely done, Bill. I'm reviewing sources and it's always such a joy to come across one that has received such great attention. Nice work. jillaine 17:46, 30 August 2009 (EDT)
