| + | A certain amount of reservation must be used when stating that Maria Latham Anderson and Woodbury Blair were ancestors to the actor Montgomery Clift. | ||

| + | That is a tenuous position. If Sunny fabricated, we have no way to tell yes or no. The sole remaining way might be to prove that Maria's surviving sister Sophie really did give Sunny $25,000 in her will. If that evidence surfaces, that might be an acceptable way to say that yes, there was some link there. | ||
