Tom, I would not have been against including her in our family. But she obviously didn't want to be part of mine. I do go back to a family reunion of a branch of descendants and when asked which line I belonged to, I replied that actually I was descended from J. C. Merret. The lady then said, "Oh, do you know that he was illegitimate?" I said, yes, that I'd heard that. It was a great group of people.
My only point in my story was to verify the info as you have said. I also have had to correct family oral history on my father's side. So I have been in the same boat. Luckily Legacy is a gem of a program and makes documenting the information so much easier and professional (which I am not).
