My mother, Susannah Miller Wright, married Philip Scott Adams. They had a daughter, Dorothy, whom he never met but he knew about her. My mother never forgot him, and she used to go to Tower Hill with my sister to remember him together. This tradition is still kept going by my sister’s daughter and her daughters.
