Note:
I was facetiming my grandmother Marla Justice, who was the daughter of Bud Johnson. Bud's brother is William. So in relation to me, we're talking about my great grandfather's brother. Anyway, William's BIRTH name WAS Albert Thomas William Johnson. But he changed it legally very early on cause he did not like it much at all. So I have my grandmother's word, who's word came from her own father.
