Jack London
1876 John Griffith Chaney is born “south of the slot” on January 12 in San Francisco, California. His mother, Flora Wellman, claims the father is astrologer William H. Chaney, who denies his paternity and abandons her. Baby John is given to a wet nurse, Daphna Virginia [“Jennie”] Prentiss. Jack London’s mother marries a widower, John London, on September 7. Baby John, then eight months old, acquires his stepfather’s surname, “London” and returns to the family household.
