From source book by Oscar Burton Robbins, pg 324: "This family record by Florence on 10 Jan 1947, who also says 'Her mother's grandfather was a Methodist Minister, her father's grandfather was a Baptist Circuit Rider, and one of her father's grandparents was a waif, stolen from the streets of London, brought to America and reared in a kind Dutch family, who gave him the name "Guest", because they did not know his name. Harriet Guest, my father's mother was a grandchild of above waif."
