These are the sources for the middle name of Leighton Marlon Johnson by their personal knowledge.
Fact of middle name as "Marlon" from personal knowledge passed directly from his daughter Addie Johnson Allen, my great-grandmother, to my mom, during the 1940s-1960s, and also passed directly from Addie (who went by Jennie, a nickname of her middle name, and was called "Mam") to me, during 1960s-1980s, long before her death in 1993.
