  • Notes 
    • Source:
      Glynda Gill Gros:
      Because John Manley Toney (1843-1919) and his son James Manley Toney (1890-1952) had the same initials, James Manley's mother Mary Molley Williams Toney (1860-1936) would open her son's mail; so Manley James Toney changed his name from his original name James Manley Toney to Manley James Toney.
