Notes:

Bathsheba and her husband, Theodore Wheaton, invested Bathsheba's inheritance from her father in the Wheaton Glass factory and, by WWI, became very prosperous. Today it is reported to be the largest family owned glass factory in the United States. [source: Dorothy Neiman Swanson, letter, 12 April 2003]
