Relationship3rd great-grandson of Jean George Bezanson
     Edward Jesse Bezanson was born in 1877.1 He married Sadie Alma Kerr on 11 September 1915 at Halifax, Nova Scotia. She was 43.2,1 Edward Jesse Bezanson petitioned the court to become a naturalized citizen on 15 September 1930 while living at 53 Alder Street, Waltham, Massachusetts.3 He was a carpenter.4 He married Mary Langeley in 1937 at Waltham, Massachusetts.5,6,7 Edward Jesse Bezanson married in 1953 at Waltham, Massachusetts. I have not discovered who he married at that time.8 He was buried in Riverbank Cemetery, Hantsport, Nova Scotia.9

In newspaper articles related to the abduction of Dorothy Jean Bezanson, a man identified as Edward Jesse Bezanson claims to be her father. In other records, such as the 1930 U.S. Federal Census and his naturalization papers, Edward claims to have no children. Meanwhile, Edward's brother Parker M. Bezanson had a daughter Dorothy who is the right age to be the girl in question. I strongly suspect that the articles refer to Parker's daughter Dorothy, but I do not know if Parker was consistently misidentified by news reporters, or perhaps the brothers had reasons that are lost to history that would explain why Edward was pretending to be Dorothy's father.
