Hi Jon,
Very interesting query. There are many family trees on Ancestry.com which list Abraham Onstott's (b. 1795) middle name as Hood, with a son by the same name. I checked online and also checked my own geneaology records but I did not find a documented source for this. I guess I went along with the rest of the herd! The census and marriage records I've seen only show his name as Abraham Onstott or Onstot without a middle name. It may be that the middle name has just been handed down through oral family histories and stories that have been told to younger generations. His mother's maiden name was Hood and he named one of his sons Abraham Hood Onstott, so it may be very likely. If anyone reading this does have documentation for Hood as his middle name, I hope they will share the information. I have added the "Jr" to his son's name in my tree just to avoid confusion.
Ellen
