Palmetto, Florida is on the Gulf Coast side and nowhere near Jupiter, Florida.

Other than they are both in FL, what connections have you established between these two stories (Palmetto Vice Mayor and Hinton's baby racket)?

DuBois is not an uncommon surname in Florida, BTW.

Just saw your edit about DuBois not being an uncommon name in Florida. Thanks.

I've got quite an interesting bit to add to the National Enquirer story. Connections with John DuBois III of Jupiter, Florida, from one of the pioneer families of that region..I need to put a post together for that. In the meantime, I happened to come across this vice mayor with the same name and just wondered if there was a family connection. So, to answer your question I have not established any connection...just wondering if there is one.

Okay, gotcha.

The answer you seek probably lies in genealogy, the research of which can be very time-consuming.

Yup. Not worth looking into if there isn't an obvious and immediate family connection.

try looking for obituaries, these usually list surviving family members to help figure out siblings and cousins.

There are many Mary Hinton's that pop up. One of which is the mother of Melanie Hinton Haupt, the ex-wife of Joe Scarborough. Melanie seems to have been married several times, if you look closely. Obituaries tied to Hinton family members are incredibly vague considering there are social page listings for the Hinton family members.

the geneology is not easy. I was trying to sort out the Podesta cousins and couldn't nail down the McCarthy connection conclusively. It drove me crazy for months. I'm not on facebook but you might find connections there too, once you get some solid leads.

They were actively scrubbing stuff yesterday.

Thanks for the tip.
