I am researching the Jaquett ancestry of the late American actress Charlotte Greenwood [1890-1978]. Her mother, Annabelle Jaquett Higgins, was the daughter of Rodney Higgins and Martha Jaquett Murray of New Castle, Delaware. In her memoirs, Charlotte says her mother's grandfather was "Major Peter Andrew Jaquett," and her description clearly implies that this is the famed Peter Jaquett of the Revolutionary War period. However, I understand he had no children. Can anyone with access to Sellers' Jaquett genealogy tell me if there is a Jaquett-Murray marriage anywhere in the ancestry that could have resulted in this daughter Martha?
Best thanks - Grant Menzies
