The following comments were provided by his daughter, Mary Francis (Krig)Stim:
"When John was born, he was given the name Paul Presnell Kring by hisparents. They called him Jack all his life. When he signed up to gointo the Navy during World War II, they asked him for his name and hereplied "Jack", so they wrote down John and asked for his middle name.He said my name is Paul so they put that for his middle name. Thus hebecame John Paul Kring. After the war he had his name legally changed toJohn Paul."

"Burial: 31 December, 1990, East Resthaven Park Cemetery, Maricopa,AZ. Suvis Harris Kring is buried in Nogalas, Santa Cruz County, AZ."

!NOTES:
Her birthdate is pure speculation. Her husband Robert is shown a sbeing 38 in the census of 1870. This is incorrect according to th earticle in the HISTORY OF UNION COUNTY (see his notes) which show s hisbirth date in 1822. The error of Robert was 10 years in the cen sus andit is assumed that the same error was made for Ellen. Otherw ise, shewould have been 36 with a 21 year old child.

SQ p. 3634:

She "was buried in the Union Chapel Cemetery."

SQ p. 3633:

"...they (Monroe and Martha Ann) were buried in the Walnut GroveCemetery near Trenton, Tennessee."

A mistake is likely, either on his father's date of death, or on hisbirth date which the SPARKS QUARTERLY (p. 3546) reports as being 10months apart.
