I have a 3xgrandfather by the name of Napoleon B Gauff, born Pennsylvania in 1823. Haven't yet found anything to say that the B stands for Bonaparte but I think the chances are pretty good that it might! He was of German heritage and lived in a German speaking area but his family had been in America for at least 3 generations at that point. Interesting that he was probably named after a French general. Vivian St Thomas VI
