Owners are grouped on the name each county publishes. Collapsing spellings that mean the same owner would merge holdings that really are one, and is worth doing — but a wrong merge attributes land to someone who does not own it, on a page that names them, so until those rules are tested against real deeds the county’s own spelling is what is published here.
