Name Change?

[edit]

Some sources say that Willard was a son of John Willard Clawson originally named John Wesley Clawson. This includes a comment here [1] allegedly from a family member. Here [2] Find a Grave supports this view. I am not seeing it in anything approaching a reliable source, and considering that someone at one point conflated John Willard with Moroni Olsen, there is incorrect information that gets passed around. This [3] New York Times article might tell you more but I can't access it.
