• Notes

  Mamie (as she was known) was raped by her third cousin (Charles Kimball Worcester) and as a result gave birth to Charles Kimball Worcester French. She named him thus because the father would not claim him as his own and in her own way she made sure that everyone knew who the father was! On Sept 4, 1931 she quit-claimed the homestead farm of her father to her husband for $1. (David M. Caranci has the original deed.)
