Does the widow of John Doe III keep title?
Alive or dead, John Doe III is always John Doe III. His widow can continue to be known as Mrs. John Doe III if she wants to be. Many women are known as Mrs. Mary Doe when their husbands are living and then would not likely adopt "Mrs John Doe" after his death. So in those cases, the Suffix is neither used nor retained.
Correct punctuation for Mr John Doe III?
The correct punctuation for "Mr. John Doe III" is as shown. The period after "Mr" indicates an abbreviation, while "III" denotes the third in a line of individuals with the same name.
What does the III mean in someones name?
Normally the III means that "John Doe III's" father and grandfather are named (grandfather) "John Doe Sr." and (father) is named "John Doe Jr.". Which would change their names to "John Doe I" and "John Doe II" when "John Doe III" is named. The naming can also skip a generation or even a nephew or grandnephew can continue the name. I have seen the use of the roman numeral system with female names also.
What is the proper way to write the III after someone's name?
John Doe, III is an example.
Does John Doe third become John Doe Junior when his senior grandfather dies?
Naming people "Sr." and "Jr." is a separate system from naming them "Second," "Third," "First," etc. Commonly, John Doe, Jr. can drop the "Jr." from his name after John Doe, Sr. dies, but he does not have to. For example, Sammy Davis, Jr., the famous black entertainer, continued to use "Jr." for many years after his father, Sammy Davis, Sr., died. He did, eventually, call himself simply, Sammy Davis. Naming people "I," "II," "III," etc. is a completely separate system and does not even require that III be the son of II. John Doe III could be the son of Jason Doe, and the nephew, younger cousin, or other relative of John Doe II, as long as both are recognized as being in the same family. The numbering does not change when one of them dies. John Doe IV, the son of John Doe III and the grandson of John Doe II, will always be John Doe IV, even after I, II and III have died. He may as a matter of convenience, choose to drop the number, or, if he has a son named John Doe V, he might choose to be John Doe, Sr., to his son's John Doe, Jr.
What is difference between John Doe Jr I and John Doe Jr II?
This is not the way these naming conventions are used. That would never be a John Doe Jr II. John Doe is the first person in a family to have that exact name. John Doe III is the third person in the family to have that name. John Doe, Jr., is the son John Doe; he may NOT choose to be Sr even after the older John Doe has died. Depending on the history of the family, the person being called John Doe, Jr, could be the fifth person (or some other number) in the family to be named "John Doe," and therefore could also be called John Doe V. If that were the case, John Doe, Sr., could also be called John Doe IV. But you NEVER mix the Jr/Sr/II/III naming with numbering at the same time. II is ALWAYS when naming after a relative like an uncle or grandfather and a Jr NEVER becomes a II nor does he ever become a Sr.
What is the proper way to address a letter to a husband and wife when the husband is a Pastor and also is the third not Jr?
If the Pastor who is the third and not a Junior is the only Pastor then you address him and his wife: Pastor & Mrs. John Doe. If all three were Pastors then you would address the letter as: Pastor John Doe,III & Mrs. John Doe.

What is John Doe's middle name?

How do you identify that parent suing on behalf of a minor?
John Doe on behalf of the minor John Doe, Jr. Or John Doe as guardian of the minor John Doe, Jr.
How do you use the suffix I II III Jr Sr?
John Doe has a son also called John Doe. In these circumtances, the father is often called John Doe, Senior (Sr) and the son John Doe, Junior (Jr). If John Doe, Junior also has a son called John Doe the son might be called John Doe III.
Whose name goes first in a mailing address?
Etiquette (and yes, it's still used) is the man's name goes first. Examples: * Mr. & Mrs. John Doe * Mr. John Doe & Jane Doe, M.D. * Mr. John Doe and Dr. Jane Doe * Dr. John Doe and Mrs. Jane Doe * Drs. John and Jane Doe * Dr. John Doe & Dr. Jane Doe * Mr. & Mrs. J. Doe * Honorable John Doe and Mrs. Jane Doe (only used for invitations to the couple.)
