There's a strong possibility Zeta Vivian was born a Shea, d/o Wallace D.
Shea and Effie Blanche Crowell.
When Effie Blanche (Crowell) Shea died 12 May 1917 in Port Greville, 3 year
old Zeta was possibly raised by her maternal uncle, Andrew Leroy Crowell and
his wife, Ella Mary McWhirter over in River Hebert.
Zeta was still single in 1944, working as a teacher.
Therefore Zeta possibly might not be a McWhirter descendent but either way
is still a Hatfield descendent via the Crowell's.
