Annullment Petition Over George Taft Marriage History
Ba Taft seeks an annulment claiming marriage invalid because George Taft already had a wife living when they wed in March 1933. Taft’s affidavit says he married in good faith after learning a prior New York marriage ended, but cites a later death of his first wife. He states separation occurred in 1914 and cites 1912 marriage to his second wife and a 1933 ceremony.
