Frances Harper → Frances Ellen Watkins Harper – I cannot find a single reference, much less Web site, that antedates Wikipedia and calls her by only two names. The four names were used routinely. She was from Maryland, and the Maryland State Archives uses the four names (https://msa.maryland.gov/msa/educ/exhibits/womenshallfame/html/harper.html). deisenbe (talk) 18:58, 29 July 2022 (UTC) — Relisting.
