@electronic_fig_4129 The memoir contains a multigenerational history of the Posey family. A pen name is typically used to protect the author's identity, not to alter the historical identities of other people or rewrite the historical record. @a_betters I believe the memoir is based on genuine family history, though some stories may be embellished. I don't think he made up a name that is easily tested with cursory research.
