--Source of information: Ernest M Godshall; This note is a comment that Ernest M. GODSHALL made in a letter to me (Michael J. GODSHALK). Re: The spelling GOTTSHALL vs: GODSHALL. I thought I remembered being told that my grandfather Enos was the one who changed the spelling to "GODSHALL", however, when I read the copy of my great-grandfather's will (William Kratz GOTTSHALL), he in the text wrote in his own handwriting, "I, William K. GODSHALL..." but at the end where he signed the document, he signed it "William K. GOTTSHALL".
