More presidential birth name trivia:
President Dwight David Eisnhower was born as “David Dwight Eisenhower” and didn’t have a birth certificate at all until he was 62 years old. Ike was a Denton, Texas home birth and he got a birth certificate on the testimony of his wife Mamie and older brother, Arthur.
From The Denton, Texas Herald newspaper:
‘Ike Gets Birth Certificate; Filed In Courthouse Here’
‘Dwight David Eisenhower now has a birth certificate officially recorded
in the office of the County Clerk, Grayson County, Texas. The certificate
was signed Wednesday by County Judge J.N. Dickson and recorded by County
Clerk J.C. Buchanan. It is the first official notation of Eisenhower’s birth
Oct. 14, 1890, in Denison.
The filing came about through a long process. A New York law firm wrote
Harold Schmitzer, Denison City Secretary, asking if Eisenhower has a birth
certificate registered in that city. Schmitzer replied there was none. A
Denison newspaper carried a story saying Eisenhower’s birth had never been recorded.
Lonnie F. Roberts read the story and checked with the county clerk’s
office in Sherman, who told him there was no birth certificate recorded for
the 1952 Republican presidential nominee.
Roberts wrote Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower in Denver, Colo., asking if she
would compile the birth information from the general. Mrs. Eisenhower wrote Roberts that “I was very amused when he learned he had never been ‘born’ officially.”
As soon as Roberts received the information from Mrs. Eisenhower he drew up a formal, legal birth certificate which he sent to Ike’s brother, Arthur
B. Eisenhower, in Kansas City, Mo.
Arthur Eisenhower swore that Ike was born at the time and place stated,
but was not sure about the time of day. Mildred B. Burgess, notary public in
Jackson County, Mo., notarized Arthur Eisenhower’s signature.
Roberts received the elder Eisenhower’s reply Wednesday, and promptly
brought the document to Sherman for recording.
He is now sending the certificate back to Mrs. Eisenhower.’ Eisenhower’s political ‘guardian angel’
There is also Lyndon Johnson’s birth certificate which lists him as “Un-named Johnson”. It was amended in 1961 based on the affidavit of a family friend.
