In reply to:

and that his father died of syphilis

Well, that is old new to me, as for his brother not being quite his brother-- a blood test would tell for sure.

and as for Jennie being no bargain, on the scales of things, making a man wear horns, or giving your wife a (at the time ) untreatable, deadly disease-- i think Jennie got the worse half of the bargain!

I think if i knew my hubby had syphilis, i would have all my children via (disease free) lovers! congential syphilis is a very ugly disease...
