Jane arrives before the father-name.

MCR 5166 gives Jane Bell a human entrance before the Robin / Robert seam.

Jane Bell. 48. Ardmore. Aden, Mississippi. Winston County. Month ago in the Territory. Before that, Mississippi.

What is your father's name?

Robin Bell.

Was his name Robin or Robert Bell?

Robin Bell.

Later Commission use of “Robert Bell” does not erase Jane's two answers. The earlier 1902 administrative account of Jane's absence is a different object and voice.
