NOTES
 
 
 
 
 
 
2 -- Much of the literature about Charles Manson says that the defendant in the paternity case his mother filed, and thus the plausible father of Charles Manson, was a "Col. W. Scott", with the implication, and sometimes the statement, that "Colonel" was his military rank. In fact, "Colonel" was his given name. See the census extracts above for details.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
FURTHER NOTES
 
 
 
 
The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) publishes a Patriot Index, a list of persons whose honorable service in the cause of independence during the American Revolution renders their female descendants eligible for membership in the NSDAR. Several ancestors of Charles Manson appear in the Patriot Index, including:


    Micajah Frazier (number 146)
    Aaron Pinson (number 264)
    Thomas Pinson (number 132)
    Isaac Runyon (number 152)
    John Runyon (number 76)
    Alden Williamson (number 276)

While Mr. Manson is not eligible for membership in the NSDAR (by not being female), he is eligible for membership in the equivalent organization for men, the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution.
