The story passed from my mother to me was that her mother Luzelle had "run away" from an "arranged marriage" and met my grandfather (Emory Ellsworth) who was on a bus somewhere between Indiana and Illinois. I very much doubt that my mother was aware that Luzelle actually had gone through with the first marriage and had a child; it appears to have only been learned in the last few years by her siblings. Beyond that, my mother either did not know about, or outright refused to discuss, her genealogy except to say that there were some Quakers in the line.
One piece of information that still eludes me was that my mother referred to her mother Luzelle as "cajon", which I understand would be French and Indian, and that she (my mother) was 1/8th Indian blood. The few family siblings remaining either have no knowledge of this or at least have not mentioned it, but my mother, being the oldest, was very close to Luzelle. So far, I have found some indirect lines of Indian blood, but not direct. (12/05 vjp)
Luzelle and Emory came west to California just after WWII started, 1942.
