No original document shows him with a middle name. Middle names were rare until the late 18th century.

Did Benjamin's middle name start with an O? I just merged a profile that had "Benjamin O." as his name/preferred name. I didn't put the "O" as his middle name - I'd rather put an actual name than an initial. Does anyone know it? (If not, should we go ahead and add just the O as his middle name?) Cheers, Liz
