Especially if the name ended in 'a', he tended to stick" an extra 'I' in before the end of the name. The second enumerator, Wright, had very weak handwriting - there is little differentiation between e and I, between o and a, between n, m, u and r. He was also not a good speller, so consequently many of these names just look bizarre and are probably not accurate. Researchers are encouraged not to give up if they don't find their ancestor - search under all possible misspellings. The name Walkingstick alternately appears as Walking Stick.
