Recently, the first official government document containing William Branham's legal name was discovered - his 1940 draft card from the United States Defense Security Service.  Even more curious is the fact that William Branham's signature appears on the form.  His signature is an acknowledgment that his legal name, the name given to him at birth, was William Marvin Branham.  So his middle name was Marvin and not Marrion.
It is also interesting to note that William Branham gave no indication of his middle name in any sermon until March 24, 1963:
:''There is many Branhams, if you want to talk about me personally, but I’m—I’m the one William Marrion Branham. That—that’s me. But there’s many other William Branhams, and so forth, around.<ref>William Branham, 63-0324M - Questions And Answers On The Seals, para. 181</ref>
He doesn't spell his middle name in the sermon.
