[I have no explanation for why our subject's given name changed from Eldridge to Elvis, but his marriage, census, and death records clearly show it did.]

[Letitia is the English spelling of Latin name, Lætitia; the "Lu…" versions are misspellings.]

Nannie cannot possibly be 61; she's still having children.  Based on later censuses, she should be age 41 and born in 1858.  Given all the errors, it doesn't appear that either Elvis or Nannie could have been the informant.  So, is Herman's first name really Jorden?
