There was another evil our Queens had to deal with. And again, we're laying a very detailed foundation to show how Queen Celia was framed (as other Queens) and the general mental instability of dominant society during parts of the official black/African enslavement era.
Best believe, you can't understand the complete diameters of black/African female enslavement without integrating the subject of white society's practice of incest during the 19th century.
In a book entitled: Unspeakable: Father-Daughter Incest in American History by Lynn Sacco, Baltimore: John Hopkins University Press, 2009, the author explains the reluctance of white doctors to explain that evil.
The doctors in America, she writes, "could not acknowledge that native-born white American men took erotic pleasure in sexual contacts with children, particularly their own."(p.119).
When you factor that in-- and I return your attention back to Queen Celia's situation--- and we look at Virginia, Robert Newsom's oldest daughter. She had several children apparently by a known father. However, the father of the youngest, a boy, has been somewhat of a mystery to us all.
Researchers, not just me, suggest it's kind of odd that we don't know how she ended up pregnant without a husband coming to Missouri. I know you're tempted to apply 21st century standards of having children to the 19th century. Resist that urge. Way different and much, much Bible-Koran like strict.
Virginia's youngest baby's daddy is unknown and a weird mystery like her (Virginia) mother's identity.
How we gone know the older children's daddy but not the most recent, the youngest?
You will see how slavery-rape and incest are intertwined.
