Spelling was not as engraved in stone as it is today. Writers and printers in the 1800's and earlier had much leeway in how to spell many words. Also, during and after the American revolution, us Yanks started spelling many words differently as one more act of defiance to the King's Tyranny.Today we take common language and spelling for granted, but it was a long road to achieve all this. I've been in print a number of times.
