Donelson/Donnelson/Donaldson

Stonecutters made mistakes just as typist do.  Headstones for Stanford and Elizabeth, professionally made, have Donaldson.  Their children’s stones, not so well made, and worn almost beyond reading, have Donnelson.  Mrs Greer says the name is Donnelson/Donelson.  Mrs. Bula Donelson told the compiler that the early family spelled it with two “N” but later generations dropped one of them.
