    Notes:

    From Find A Grave

    At the age of 16 Nan developed an obsession with her father's friend, Warren Gamaliel Harding. Reports state that many pictures of the future president adorned the walls of her bedroom, and that she would wait for hours outside of his office at Marion Daily Star building. In 1914, after graduation from high school, Nan moved to New York, hoping to begin a secretarial career. At this time she also claims to have began an affair with the future president which continued throughout his presidency. As a result of the affair, a daughter,Elizabeth, was born in 1919. Harding allegedly promised to support the daughter,but after his death in 1923, his wife, Florence, who vehemently denied any claims made by Nan, refused to honor the obligation. In 1928, a nearly destitute Nan Britton, wrote a book entitled The President's Daughter, considered by many to be the first kiss and tell book. According to the New York Times, August 13, 2015 DNA confirms that Nan Britton's daughter, Elizabeth, was indeed fathered by Warren Harding, and the Harding Blaesing families jointly announced that paternity has been proven via DNA comparisons.

    (Nan Britton died in 1991 in Sandy, Oregon, where she had lived during the last years of her life.[1] She insisted until her death that Harding was her daughter's father, a fact that was confirmed by DNA testing decades later, in 2015.[1]
