"Monroe"

I moved this from James Monroe Bankhead, as the purported middle name appears to be almost never used in reliable sources, and the few that do are rather recent, and may have in fact picked it up from Wikipedia ("citogenesis"). It appears Bankhead's grandmother was formerly Elinor/Eleanor Monroe (an aunt of President James Monroe), and one of his sons appears to have been named James Monroe Bankhead,^[1] so it's possible that the Brigadier General had or used the middle name, but if so it appears so seldom that Wikipedia should treat it as dubious until better documented. --Animalparty!
