These two numbers count different things and rarely match. The first is how often the back-of-book indexes the books themselves print point at this place; an indexer chose those. The second is how often the name occurs in the transcript text, counted by machine. More on the difference.

This place has not been given a coordinate. It appears here because the narrators named it; where it stood is not established.

Who speaks of it

In their words

Quoted character for character from the printed page, with the page it is on.

We always called it the Writsman, or Wiles hill, because Wiles run partway up to about where the trees started, and they farmed right up to the trees, their part of it.
John Jacob "Jake" Rohner and Wilma "Willie" Rohner, #5 John Jacob & Wilma Rohner , p. 27
Okay, I have heard people other than your family refer to that hill up there as Writsman 'S Hill, but never Wiles Hill.
John Jacob "Jake" Rohner and Wilma "Willie" Rohner, #5 John Jacob & Wilma Rohner , p. 29
