The original facts were based only on a Christmas postcard in the possession of Holly (Whitten) Davis that has a photo of Benjamin Legge from 1933 and a signature on the back that says "From Floyd and Elizabeth and Family."
Paternal and maternal relationships are confirmed with a 23andMe test match between Chris Whitten and Glenn Legge, second cousins once removed. Predicted relationship by 23andMe: 2nd to 3rd Cousin based on 1.87% DNA shared across 6 segments.
Floyd trained horses in Nova Scotia for WWI. He and his family lived in Portland with his Wife's sister Carrie when they initially arrived in the U.S. For a short time he repaired automobiles in Portland. He purchased a small farm in Gray, Maine where he raised chickens for the eggs. Twice a week Elizabeth would fill the trunk of their old gray fastback Chevy with eggs (mostly brown) and her gladiolas to sell on her egg route.
