Much has been said about Bessie's supposed background of poverty. But poverty to those authors evidently means not living in splendor. The records prove that her family was firmly upper class if perhaps "lower-upper" as they say. In 1908, her mother Alice remarried to John Freeman Rasin, an insurance broker and "son of the Democratic boss of Baltimore", and the family lived in Baltimore, Maryland. More details on the Rasin family can be found in the book [http://books.google.com/books?id=pPZom7xkp3gC&pg=PA764&lpg=PA764&dq=warfield+freeman+rasin&source=web&ots=1LVnI_fJph&sig=l_YblZTwEzmDD4rFnDUQl8J3Q8s#PPA764,M1 ''Baltimore : It's History and It's People'']. (In particular it shows how John Freeman Rasin descends, through the Wingfields, from [[Richard Cecil]] and from [[Edward I, King of England]].) | Much has been said about Bessie's supposed background of poverty.
