Comment
The court clerk must have been confused about Edward Crosslin's surname. He added "Simmons" as the surname in what appears to have been an editorial update to the bond. Then he reduced "Crosslin" to an initial in the signature block as if Crosslin was a middle name in stead of a surname.
Neither Edward Crosslin nor his security bond, Dixon Bass, were literate so the errors would probably not have been recognized or challenged by them.
