Middle names are a modern idea and people in his time often didn't have one.

Nonsense, middle names are not a modern invention.

Many people simply did not have middle names because it was not considered important to assign one.

The use of middle names gained favour among the rich and aristocratic first but didn't really become popular until just after the Revolution. By the time the Civil War broke out, it was custom to give a child a middle name.
