He used W. T. during his lifetime. Not sure who erected the tombstone, but they probably modeled it after the son's name, assuming he was a "Jr. This is a common fallacy today in online trees, resulting in middle names the person never used.

Are we sure his middle name was Thomas? His tombstone says William H just like his son.
