MIDDLE NAME:

In an e-mail (4/19/2007) Janice Knight states the following about Peter P. Downing's middle name.

I am 99% sure Peter P. Downing's middle name was Patterson. He named one of his sons (my grandfather) Riley Patterson Downing. Laura Downing White got an official birth certificate (I believe in the 1950s) and gave her father's full name as Peter Patterson Downing.
