Theodore Wakefield

Theodore Wakefield was born in England. He had an older brother, James, who died in a riding accident. His father wanted to arrange a marriage for him, but he refused. Outraged, his father disowned him, while his mother was devastated. Theodore decided to go to the United States. During the voyage, he met Alice Larson, but they were separated when they reached the shores of America. Years later, he married a Half-Native American woman named Dancing Wind. She died after giving birth to twins, James and Sarah Wakefield.

Years later, James (Theodore's son) died from pneumonia. His daughter, Sarah fell in love with a man named Edward Brooke, but he disapproved, and wanted her to marry into a rich, snobbish family. Sarah refused, and she reminded her father of his past, but he wouldn't budge. Sarah ran away from home with Edward Brooke to San Francisco, but the 1906 Earthquake struck before they could be married. Later, they were rescued, but an aftershock struck, and Edward was killed after rescuing a baby. After returning home, her father told her not to blame herself, because there was nothing she could have done. A few months later, Sarah learned she was pregnant, and told her father the truth about what happened. Outraged, Theodore sent her away so no one would know about the family shame. Sarah gave birth to a son, and named him Edward "Teddy" Wakefield. Theodore visited Sarah and wanted to put her baby up for adoption, but she refused. He then offered to care for her if she took residence as far away as possible. Sarah answered: "If you won't recognize your own daughter and grandchild, I don't want your money!" Theodore was startled, and left, and they never saw each other again. Years later, Theodore died alone.
