The Weatherwax Genealogy 1710-1930 Book corrections

Recent research indicates a correction needs to be made concerning: +4360 (2715) Douglas Eugene Weatherwax found on pages 668 and 791 of my book.
His mother was Nancy Pearl Weathers; dau of Samuel H. Weathers.
She married1st Charles D. Fusha c1926 they had a son Douglas Fusha b: 13 Deb 1927 in Lauderdale co., AL.
before 1930 she divorced Charles D. Fusha and appears in USC1930, living with her father, and son Douglas Fusha.
She then married: Conrad James Weatherwax on 21 Jun 1931 in Lodgepole,Cheyenne NE. This information came to light because another researcher sent me an obit I had not seen. It clearly established that James Weatherwax is his half brother and his father was Charles Fusha. Further research now confirms he was adopted or switched to Douglas Eugene Weatherwax after his mothers marriage to Conrad J. Weatherwax. He continued to use the Weatherwax surname the rest of his life and his descendants carry on with the Weatherwax surname.

Weatherwax spelling variations

A recent email received indicates that a family member who currently spells their surname as: "WITHERWAX" feels that my book is incorrect. This individual does not question the line of descent I present, only the fact that I have spelled their use of the surname as both WEATHERWAX, and WITHERWAX. They cite personal documentation (after USC1930) as proof of their spelling. I do not disagree with this person and acknowledge that their spelling is correct for them. But their records and documents after USC1930 were not available in the preparation of my book and fall into the area of personal privacy that I would not publish.
Please be aware that if you order my book the following is the surname header for all family members used in the index
WETHERWAX, WEATHERWAX, WITHERWAX, WEATHERWALKS
Also be aware in the researching of this family Genealogy over 55 spelling variations were found and documented. These variations are all presented within the book to assist other researchers.
