Three mothers were involved in one case and two in another, but the largest family, 17, was the product of one mother.
The above information was compiled by Stanley F. S. Wood in April 1988.
The first three generations of Edwin Marshall Wetmore's descendants produced a total of 90 children in 32 families, an average of 2.8 children per family.
