    Notes 
    • Tanya Breese wrote: "everyone believed she had special healing powers because he died before she was born. She would have to go and "heal" people in the area. Gerald Lee Harris moved to San Diego, Ca as a young man and came from a very poor background. He became Mayor of National City, Ca and he died in 1986 of Parkinsons".
