I’ve only seen it as Dolly. Since her Will has it spelled with just the Y and the family says it’s so, then that’s as it should be. Surely, there are records with her signature but I didn’t see any in a quick search.

I found her signature, but she seemed to sign everything D. P. Madison.

And that’s how it got it’s name. Dolly (Dolley, Dollie) had it painted white to cover up the burn marks.
