Ruth is Ruth DeWitt Pearl, whom Gardner Jencks married in 1935.
Gardner Jencks’ first wife was Elinor Stevens Melcher, whose great-grandfather was American hotelier Paran Stevens.
Elinor’s grandmother, daughter of Paran Stevens’ first wife, Eliza Jewett, was involved in litigation with his second wife (her step-great-grandmother), the redoubtable socialite “Mrs. Paran Stevens,” who began life as Marietta Reed.
Minnie Fiske Stevens, daughter of Paran Stevens and Marietta Reed, married Sir Arthur H. Paget, grandson of the 1st Marquess of Anglesey.
