Altered spelling?=

[edit]

The article says:

His father was a farmer, Obedience Alcott (1776–1847); in the 1820s, like many members of the family, he altered the spelling of his last name, which on his tombstone appears as "Obid. Alcott".

So how was the last name, Alcott, written before he/they altered the spelling? Mendelo (talk) 07:04, 13 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Alcox, according to the earlier version of this article. The original spelling was removed in Special:redirect/revision/476461300 by an anonymous user. It makes no sense to not even mention the original spelling and then say that he later changed the spelling of his name. Mendelo (talk) 02:06, 1 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
