Name change

As per Act 4 of the 10th Arizona Territorial Legislature (available online here, search for "Smith" to finds the text of the act)), Smith's name was changed to "John Y. T. Smith". While there are sources showing the initials stand for "Yours Truly", Smith's legal name only added the two initials. --Allen3 ^talk 21:09, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
