!REFERENCE: 20-May-2010 conversation between Doris Will and her son-in-law Don Braffitt in Fries, Grayson, VA at the home of her sister Imogene Sexton, "We were looking at the 1930 census record for the family of W. H. Johnson, and Doris and I were looking at the middle initial next to her name (age 5 in that census record). We discussed several possible letters it might be, and then Doris asked how you would spell Juanita. I had never heard Doris mention Juanita before, but she remembers that as the middle name she had at the time. By the time she applied for a passport, the birth record she could locate did not have Juanita. From all this, I gather her birth name may have been Doris Juanita Will."
!REFERENCE: 05-Dec-2021 conversation between Diana Will, Becky Will, and Don Braffitt. "Diana's memory is that Velma Pearl would use the name Dorie Jane to refer to Doris."
