re: only child
I've had a bit more trouble than I'd expected finding any
family/biography web pages about the Colonal. However I did find
one page that described a picture of him as having his *two*
daughters in the background.

Colonel Sanders had one daughter, Margaret. As far as
I know she never married. However, at age 87 she did
write a book, entitled: "The Colonel's Secret: Eleven
Herbs and a Spicy Daughter." She is now 90, having
been born in 1910, when her father was but 20.

One source on the web gives:
In September 1964, Gacy met and married a co-worker named
Marlynn Myers whose parents owned a string of Kentucky Fried
Chicken fast food restaurant franchises in Waterloo, Iowa.
Fred W. Myers, Gacy's new father-in-law, offered him a position
with one of his franchises. Soon after that Gacy and his new wife
moved to Iowa.

I stand corrected. I only knew of one daughter. However,
following your lead, I found the following:
http://members.tripod.com/~GeraldCoulter/BoyceCoulterBiography.html
"GERALD: "Colonel Sanders, did you know him very well? did
you meet with him very much or did you know him
personally or anything like that? BOYCE: "Oh Yeah, yeah
when the Colonel sold out he had two daughters and he
gave one of them the State of Florida before he sold out.
She had all the Franchises in Florida. and the other one he
sold out Canada for two- million dollars and put it in
trust funds for cripple children. She administrated the trust.
That was her job, to administrate that trust. "

Gacy was married twice, to a Marlynn Myres in 1964 and a Carol Hoff in
1972. I have found nothing on several Gacy sites suggesting that
either of these women was a chicken heiress, which one would certainly
expect to have been mentioned had it been true.
A little polite persistent questioning of your friend concerning the
source of this very oid-y factoid might prove interesting.

Before you buy.
"Colonel" Harland Sanders's daughter Margaret wrote a book about her
family, published in 1996--here's a cite from a blurb in People magazine
about it:
http://people.aol.com/people/daily/96back/960926.html
I remember reading it at the time, and it was not exactly discreet, so I
think she would have mentioned if Gacy was her husband (or brother in
law, though I seem to recall she was an only child). BTW, Margaret
Sanders was born in 1909, so she would have been a bit old for Gacy.

I'm guessing here that you've never actually been to Kentucky, and
probably never looked at where it is on the map.

Maybe she was a secret-spices heiress.
