Ella Manda Day ^{2 3 4 6}

   Another name for Ella was Ella Amanda Lay.¹

  General Notes:

Whether her middle name was spelled Amanda or Manda is just a matter of which document you look at. There seems to be just as many showing the spelling as Amanda as there are with the spelling as Manda. It also seems that most of those that show the name as Amanda are from documents written by family members rather than clerks or census enumerators.
