Who's good at tracking obscure details?

First, Laurie is absolutely correct about Mary Surratt being confused with Mary Victorine Hunter. There are many websites that say Mary Surratt was F. Scott Fitzgerald's first cousin once removed. That is not true. It is Mary Victorine Hunter who was F. Scott Fitzgerald's first cousin once removed.

Thanks, Paige. Wikipedia was one of these many websites that said that. Last week I edited the Wikipedia website by deleting this information from its Mary Surratt article. But the next day the editors of Wikipedia replaced what I deleted with, "She (Mary Surratt) was a first cousin, once removed, of novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald's father Edward Fitzgerald."
