Those Wentworths were an interesting lot.

John W.'s uncle and gubernatorial predecessor, Benning, earlier scandalized Portsmouth society by marrying his 16 year old maid, Martha Hilton.

John later married his cousin Frances almost literally before her late husband's body was cold.

Bit o' trivia: Francestown - over by Peterborough - was named after Frances Wentworth.
