Notes

  • In the 1900 census, Hazel E. Maynard is described as the adopted daughter of Theodosia Bezanson and Edward Maynard. Theodosia Bezanson's sister Lorenda J. Bezanson had a daughter Hazel born on the same day as other records give for Hazel E. Maynard. I believe Lorenda J. Bezanson and George E. Clark were the biological parents of Hazel E. Maynard, and after Lorenda's death, Hazel Clark was adopted by her sister Theodosia and Theodosia's husband Edward Maynard.2,3
