Bonnie Darr Fields (1882-1967), January 5, 1965 letter to DeeAnna:

"Twins sure do run in our family. Mama had two sets, and Uncle George's wife had one set."

The statement above by Bonnie Darr Fields is in conflict with the notation in the Teagarden book that George Fields and his wife Emma had no children (unless, for example, twins had been stillborn or died shortly after birth). --DeeAnna
