    Notes 
    • In the wake of her mother's death shortly after giving birth, Lenora Squires Gaston was raised from infancy by Morris Samuel Gaston and his wife Hattie I. Adams Gaston, and she therefore adopted the Gaston family name. Morris Samuel Gaston was a first cousin of baby Lenora's maternal grandmother, Mary Isabelle Gaston Adams, and a second cousin of her paternal grandmother, Elizabeth Laverna Gaston Squires. There is speculation that Hattie Adams was also a blood relative. The obituary of Morris Samuel Gaston identified as a surviving "foster daughter, Mrs. Cyril Scott of Oxford." Lenora took up residence in Weirton, WV. Her mother's obituary identifies her as Lenore [sic] Scott, her husband's obituary identifies her as Lenore [sic] Squires Gaston Scott, and the Social Security Death Index lists her name as Lenore [sic] Scott.
