In early American times did men always use the same signature from document to document? I have found several deed records where Thomas Dooley and wife Elizabeth bought or sold land. Some of these documents are signed with his X while others are signed with the initials T. D. I suppose there could be two men named Thomas Dooley and each of them had a wife named Elizabeth but I have found no other records that would indicate there were two different men.
