Mamah Borthwick Cheney Lamoureaux Descendent
It has recently come to my attention that Mamah Borthwick Cheney, Frank Lloyd Wright's lover for whom he left his wife and six children and who was brutally murdered in his Spring Green Wisconsin home, Taliesin is the grand daughter of Vilette Lamoureaux, b. 1790. Vilette is the grand daughter of James, b. 1730 to Andre and Jeanne. Two new books focus on the liaison between Mr. Wright and Mrs. Cheney: Loving Frank, a fictional account by Nancy Horan and Murder in a Prairie House, a non-fiction examination of the murder and its effect on Wright and his later work by William Drennan. Happy reading, cousins.
