Middle initial is W, not F, on this real photograph (Gail Elizabeth Summers Bleistein says about a photo in her possession). She indicates that some of her photos of this fairly dispersed line are taken in a NY Studio. Yet, in one family record (copy obtained from CCHS) it does say in one place Wilson Fitzgerald Chew. Still, Wilson W. Chew seems to predominate.- VES.
