My ancestor always signed his name with just the mark "C". I would like to know if people signed with the mark even though they could write their name, perhaps because it was easier? One of the Religious Petitions shows him writing his name in full yet deeds and wills show the mark "C". Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
