So where does the notion that she was a Close or Cloyes come from? The source cited here under last name controversy doesn't mention the surname. Neither does the old Genealogy or Anderson or Mahler in 2010. Certainly we are not believing Find a grave. If no one has a valid source, her name should be changed to Unknown. Objections?

Since almost 3 years have passed, I've edited her last name to Unknown.
