Research Note
My research is continuing to discover the correct maiden name for Loretta. There are two schools of thought: Webber/Weber, or Wilbur/Wilbor. I have believed for many years that her maiden name was Webber; however, recent research is leading me toward Wilbur. What I lack, in either case, is a primary source or even a reliable secondary source. The research continues. English-1710 19:10, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
