Categories: Halifax, Virginia | Bates Name Study
All sources I have seen of this person show Winifred Hix and similar variants (esp. Hicks). Are there original records for names Susanna and Grimes? Would it be fair to give her name as Winifred Hix (removing Susanna and Grimes) and then discuss those unsourced variants in the notes?
