Comment on Looking For Proof Of The Harry Anslinger-Andrew Mellon Family Connection by K

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 09:48:34 +0000

I’d also add that Martha Kind Denniston Leet Anslinger (Harry’s wife) had a paternal aunt, Ella McNamara Denniston (d. 1894), who was married to a one-term (Republican) US Congressman from south-central Pennsylvania, Jesse Lee Hartman (b. 18 June 1853; d. 17 Feb 1930). Another Member of Congress, John Denniston Patton (1829-1904), also from Pennsylvania, was a more distant relative.

Comment on Looking For Proof Of The Harry Anslinger-Andrew Mellon Family Connection by K

My impression is that the claims that Anslinger’s wife was Andrew Mellon’s niece are mistaken. If so, the more interesting question is where the error came from. Was it, for example, already entertained while he was Commissioner of Narcotics? (It is true that Anslinger was appointed while Mellon was Treasury Secretary.)

The wife was Martha Kind Denniston (Leet), b. Sept 1886, d. 10 Oct 1961. Her parents were John Denniston (d. 1932) and Florence Belle Gerst (Denniston), d. 21 Feb 1917. Her Paternal grandparents were James Denniston (b. 1 Aug 1827 Indiana PA; d. 8 Jan 1899) and Martha Elizabeth McNamara. Her maternal grantparents were Ephraim Gerst and Anna Metz.

Like Mellon, these are all Pennsylvanians, but there’s evidently no Mellon among them.

Anslinger was Martha’s second husband. She first married Joseph Irwin Leet (d. 26 Jan 1911). She had one child from the first marriage, a son who is variously identified as Joseph Denniston Leet, Joseph Irwin Leet, and Joseph Leet Anslinger.

Comment on Old Cannabis Recipes (pre 1940’s) by uncle mike

Thanks for the reference. Unfortunately, the O’Shaughnessy recipes that Gottlieb quotes from are vague and little rings true from my experience. Looking for something more accurate like the 1910 edition of the Therapeutic Gazette by Dr. Ball, entitled, “The Effects of Hashish Not Do To Cannabis Indica” (describes formula for Bhang as used in Mysore, India).
