There is no evidence cited to show that Thomas More's own son-in-law was implicated in his murder, and that should be either stricken or clarified as "alleged." Rancho Sespe is in Ventura County, where the record does not make such references. Just because an ex-wife made that allegation in court doesn't mean its true. We doubt that such an allegation was even made.

Saying that Thomas Storke "abused his stepmother" is an outrageous libel of the dead.

Both weird speculations should be stricken. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kdmoss (talkcontribs) 02:51, 24 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

I agree. I think it should all be removed as original research, unless a reliable source can be found. Note that Storke successfully sued Reginald Fernald and the Morning Press for making exactly these allegations in 1922, long after the divorce. I think I will remove this whole section unless someone objects. There's some good material on Storke in Walker Tompkins, Santa Barbara History Makers, pp. 187-181.
