My stepmother inlaw thought John's birth name was Joseph, perhaps confused by some family member using the alias. She died this March not knowing that he changed his name. It was after her funeral that a family member confirmed that John Liller was the same as Joseph Lewis who lived his last years in Richmond, VA

Here are a copy and paste of the descendant of John Liller that I have:
