Confused with Wolf 630
"The B component of Wolf 629AB seems to be a spectroscopic binary. The masses were derived for each component of Wolf 630ABab by Mazeh et al. (2001). The author showed that the masses are 0.41 M☉ for Wolf 629A, 0.336 M☉ for Wolf 630Ba, and 0.304 M☉ for Wolf 630Bb." (Dal & Evren, 2010: "A new method...")

"B component of Wolf 629AB also seems to be a spectroscopic binary." (Dal & Evren, 2012: "The statistical analyses...")

Possibly confused with GJ 644 C (Van Biesbroeck 8)
"... a chromospherically active star (such as AD Leo or GJ 643C)..." (Grießmeier, Tabataba-Vakili, Stadelmann, et al., 2016: "Galactic cosmic rays...")
"... but for a star like GJ 643C it could be increased by the same amount." (Barstow, Aigrain, Irwin, et al., 2016: "Telling twins apart...")

Incorrect identification as BD—8°4352C
Named as such in a list of alternate catalog numbers for Wolf 629 (Joy & Abt, 1974). Van Biesbroeck 8 (VB 8) is now regarded as the true C component of Wolf 630 = BD—8°4352 = Gliese 644 = V1054 Oph = HD 152751, etc. A similar nomenclature is used in Weis, 1991, in Table 2, where "W 629 C" and "BD -8:4352 AB" are on adjacent lines as their own group.
An earlier paper (Eggen, 1956: "The nearest...") describes Wolf 629 (YALE 3844) as the "'C' component" of "—8°4352" (YALE 3845, Wolf 630). This was before the discovery that VB 8 was also a member of the star system.
